The deal was completed within a month of the mandate being handed to Leumi UK and marks the fourth completed student accommodation deal between both parties

The deal was completed within two weeks and has helped to ease demand for student accommodation in the city.

Shawbrook has supported SES Property Group with funding for a development in Wimbledon - the fourth project since the relationship was established in 2018.

The specialist bridge lender provided the £13m development exit loan to an experienced developer against 24 high-quality apartments in Denmark Hill, London.

The funding from Atelier will see a Grade II listed building converted into a purpose-built student accommodation scheme in the centre of Bristol.

The bank accepted an unmortgaged property as security instead of cash and completed the case in 36 days from credit approval.

The five-day bridge saved the customer's deposit on their newbuild apartment in London

The two firms managed to get the deal over the line in record time, saving the client a 'substantial' six-figure sum in Stamp Duty Land Tax.

The new development is helping to address a shortage of 230,000 student beds in the UK.

The £34m apartment conversion scheme in Hampton Wick is expected to take just over two years to complete.
