As a non-bank lender, Glenhawk does property finance differently, representing fintech with passion and deep understanding

Financial lending can be an intimidating industry, however Glenhawk is set to change this. Built upon transparency and a strong ethical foundational, this independent lender aims to provide swift, competitively priced, short-term finance to property professionals.

Frustrated with high fees and unapproachable lending teams, Glenhawk is one of the few lenders who do not charge admin or exit fees, exemplifying a client-focused experience. Instead, it offers a simple, flexible approach that challenges current commercial processes, making it a much-lauded lender of choice.

Led by expert central London property developer, Guy Harrington, and supported by property veteran, Harry Hill – founder of Rightmove and former chairman and CEO of Countrywide, this start-up has taken its first steps against a backdrop of hands-on experience.

In the last eighteen months, the company has grown in both ambition and size, having lent over £50m across 92 loans with a total Gross Asset Value of £111m, and being awarded £75m from lending challenger Shawbrook Bank and Insight Asset Management – the youngest challenger lender to do so.

Glenhawk aims to affect positive change in the financial property lending market, endeavouring to provide financial solutions for all of their clients, removing typical challenges faced by borrowers.
