Brian asserted that it is becoming much harder for developers to fund ‘speculative’ transactions.

A key factor that drew Proplend into the market initially was the fact that of £180bn of outstanding debt against commercial property, 25 per cent are loans of under £5m.

Income, risk and value are the three key areas in which Brian believes commercial real estate opportunities are superior to other parts of the property investment sector.

Proplend tranches loans to cater more specifically to the risk/reward appetites of its investors, by allowing them to choose which part of the capital structure they take exposure to.
