MS Lending Group Secures £230m Funding Line from Pollen Street Capital

MS Lending Group (MSLG) has secured a £230 million funding line from Pollen Street Capital, expanding their existing facility. The announcement comes as the UK real estate sector faces a challenging funding environment.

Pollen Street Capital has increased its facility with MSLG, building on a relationship that began in 2022. The new funding line is intended to support MSLG’s continued growth and lending activities.

Since its launch in 2021, MS Lending Group has lent more than £600 million. The company’s partnership with Pollen Street Capital has played a role in its expansion over the past four years.

The real estate sector is currently experiencing a difficult funding landscape, influenced by factors such as geopolitical shocks and affordability pressures. The upsized facility is positioned as a response to these market conditions, aiming to provide additional support to borrowers and enable further business growth.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, developments in property finance such as this may impact the availability of funding for property transactions and investments, which can influence market activity and demand for related services.
