Want to know more about a growing market and opportunity?

Property investors are facing a bitter cocktail of higher interest rates, rising costs, and an increasing regulatory burden. Rental yields have flattened, and many are questioning how to achieve sustainable returns.

Within this challenging environment lies an opportunity: refurbishment. By improving quality, expanding footprints, or converting into higher-yielding uses such as HMOs, landlords can unlock both stronger rental performance and greater capital value.

In this session, we’ll explore why refurbishment is becoming central to the economics of property investment, which projects are driving returns, and how specialist finance can help accelerate equity growth. We’ll also share how our refurbishment lending product was designed to meet these needs, giving borrowers the flexibility to enhance assets and realise lasting value.
