About Southwark Development Finance
Part of Construction Capital, we are specialist development finance brokers with deep expertise in the Southwark property market.
Our Story
Southwark Development Finance is a trading name of Lenzie Consulting Ltd, one of the UK's leading specialist property finance brokerages. We established our Southwark-focused service to provide property developers with a dedicated resource for navigating the borough's unique and dynamic development landscape.
Southwark sits at the heart of South London's transformation. From the £3 billion Elephant & Castle regeneration to Canada Water's emerging new town centre and Peckham's organic growth, the borough presents development opportunities that require specialist local knowledge and finance expertise.
Our team combines access to a panel of 50+ development finance lenders with hands-on understanding of Southwark's planning environment, property values, and development pipeline. We've structured finance for projects ranging from single-unit permitted development conversions to multi-million pound new build schemes across every neighbourhood in the borough.
We understand that every development project is unique. That's why we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. We analyse your project, identify the most suitable lenders, and negotiate terms that maximise your returns — whether you're a first-time developer or an experienced operator with a portfolio of completed schemes.
Why Choose Southwark Development Finance
Local Market Knowledge
We know Southwark inside out — from conservation areas in Dulwich to regeneration zones at Elephant & Castle. This knowledge helps us match your project with lenders who understand and favour the local market.
50+ Lender Panel
A panel of 50+ development finance lenders, from high street banks to specialist development lenders and private credit funds. We find the most competitive terms for your specific project.
Speed of Execution
Indicative terms within 48 hours. We understand that timing is critical in property development, and our streamlined processes ensure you don't miss opportunities.
Whole-of-Market Advice
As independent brokers, we're not tied to any single lender. We search the entire market to find the right finance structure — whether that's senior debt, mezzanine, equity, or a combination.
Track Record
Over £400 million funded across more than 500 successful development schemes. Our experience means we can anticipate challenges and structure deals that get approved.
End-to-End Support
From initial appraisal through to completion and drawdown management, we support you at every stage of the development finance process. We're your partner, not just your broker.
Our Lender Panel
We approach a panel of 50+ lenders across the UK property finance market. Naming a lender describes the market; it does not mean we have a relationship with it or that it will lend on your scheme. Our panel includes high street banks, specialist development lenders, private credit funds, family offices, and institutional investors.
This breadth of access means we can find competitive terms for projects of all sizes and types — from £250,000 refurbishments to £15 million+ new build schemes. Whether your project is straightforward or complex, experienced or first-time, we have lenders who want to fund it.
