We have many decades of property-banking and board-level business experience, and we are aware of how the funding landscape is changing rapidly offering opportunities both for businesses and for banks. 

We recognise well the emerging opportunity for specialist property funders and challenger banks to compete head-to-head with the more traditional High Street banks. We equally understand the opportunity and drivers for property business leaders to exploit alternative suppliers for the provision of their debt finance.

Recent legislation has forced High Street banks to ring-fence their business and corporate banking customers based on size – this has led to an increase in portfolio size and workload for most relationship managers and many business leaders are experiencing a reduction in attention, specialist knowledge, and service levels. The current economic uncertainty has exacerbated the situation for High Street banks and, for many, their appetite to lend is, at best, unclear, and at worst, diminished.

Against this backdrop, Citygate Commercial provides an unrivalled level of service and relationship management. 

Citygate Commercial has established relationships and access to over 50 of the best specialist property lenders with strong appetites to lend at maximum leverage, competitive pricing and unparalleled flexibility. This sector-specialism offers our clients business managers a new and exciting whole-of-market funding opportunity.

Real estate lenders are increasingly offering loans based on sustainability performance as demand grows for green-linked financing. Citygate actively maintain relationships with funders offering discounted ESG or green-loans.

We work for all our clients to structure and execute with the highest level of integrity and make sure we go the extra mile that builds lasting relationships.
