- The two-year commitment will fund CrowdProperty-originated development finance, development exit, development finish and bridging loans of £200,000 to £5m.
- The commitment is balance-sheet money from a mortgage lender rather than a fund vehicle, so credit risk on those loans sits with ColCap Financial UK rather than with limited partners.
- The £200,000 to £5m ticket range is small against unitranche sizes, and capital is no longer the binding constraint for UK development lenders.
CrowdProperty signed a £100m forward flow agreement with ColCap Financial UK, the parent of buy-to-let lender Molo, to fund small and regional housebuilders, Alternative Credit Investor reported on Oct. 26.

ColCap Financial UK manages more than £1.3bn of UK mortgage assets. It sits within ColCap Financial Group, an Australian parent with A$25bn (£13.1bn) of assets that began UK mortgage lending in December 2022.
