Custom Real Estate Financing Tailored to Your Portfolio Goals

Barclays builds bespoke lending plans that match the specific goals of your property portfolio.

You define the objective—acquisition, refinancing, or releasing liquidity—and the team designs the right mix of loan type, term, and rate to suit cash flow and strategy.

Choose repayment or interest-only, and pick fixed or variable pricing. We run scenarios so you can compare costs, amortization, and long-term equity impact.

The approach is collaborative: a relationship director works with product specialists to set loan-to-value, tenor, and security based on your income and asset mix.

  • Prepare documentation early: evidence of assets, income, and any corporate or trust structures.
  • Confirm jurisdictional availability—some regions are excluded, including India, APAC countries, DIFC, and Ireland.
  • Scale from simple bilateral loans to club or syndicated formats as your portfolio and funding needs evolve.

Indicative eligibility for private clients typically starts at an investment portfolio of £3 million (UK) or £5 million (other jurisdictions). Clear guidance and ongoing support help keep your estate financing aligned with changing markets.

How Your Funding Journey Works Today

Start with a clear plan and a named team. Your Relationship Director and product specialists run a focused discovery session to set objectives, timelines, and acceptable leverage. From there they recommend the right facility type, rate basis, tenor, collateral and covenants.

Discovery and structuring: leverage product specialists to design the right loan

You define the goal—purchase, refinance, or release liquidity—and the team models repayment vs interest-only and fixed vs variable pricing. Specialists calibrate LTV, amortization, covenants, and drawdown schedules to match rental income and exit plans.

Eligibility and requirements: minimum portfolio thresholds and tailored criteria

Confirm eligibility early to avoid delays. For private clients, indicative thresholds start at £3 million (UK) or £5 million (other jurisdictions). Jurisdictional availability and documentation needs are checked up front.

Documentation and underwriting: assets, income streams, and complex global structures

Prepare clear information on assets, income, and entity structures. Underwriting evaluates cross-border holdings, appraisals, and benchmark rates referenced in the facility letter to set pricing expectations.

Closing and ongoing support: from bilateral to syndicated transactions and capital markets access

Execution matches scale. Choose bilateral simplicity, club flexibility, or syndicated scale depending on size and speed-to-close. Post-close, integrate day banking for rent collections and tap property finance and capital markets for refinancing or term-outs.

“A single point of contact keeps your advisors aligned and timelines transparent.”

  • Transparent checklists and timelines.
  • Ongoing cadence with relationship directors and the real estate team.
  • Access to banking, property finance, and capital markets through Barclays Group teams.

Important Information, Risks, and Policies You Should Know

Know how benchmark movements, jurisdiction rules, and lender policies can affect your obligations.

Mortgage and lending risks

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up mortgage payments. For investment property loans, missed payments can also lead to repossession or appointment of a receiver of rents.

Jurisdictional availability

Confirm geographic eligibility early. Financing is not offered for properties in India, Asia Pacific countries, DIFC, or Ireland. This affects where you can use banking and financing services.

Benchmark rates, terms, and separate conditions

Review your facility letter carefully. Mortgage costs depend in part on the benchmark rate shown and on other pricing components. Corporate products carry separate terms and conditions.

  • Assess repayment capacity; missed payments can trigger repossession or receiver of rents.
  • Review facility letters for benchmark rates and pricing details.
  • Expect separate terms for different products and services.
  • Consider market volatility; investments can fall as well as rise.
  • Keep records up to date and check applicable policies and digital notices, including cookies.
