Blackfinch Property completes £4m sustainability-led development deal in Enfield

Blackfinch Property, a rapidly growing agile lender to the UK property market, has completed a £4m development loan on 14 units in Enfield, North London, which will use a sustainability-led strategy to reduce the overall carbon footprint impact of the development by no less than 35 per cent.

The 12-month deal will see the completion of 6 new 3-bedroom houses in addition to a further 8 flats and a social club on the ground floor, after the project was taken on part-completed by a new developer.

The sustainability-led strategy includes several initiatives that will benefit the environmental impact. The developer is committed to using locally sourced materials to reduce the demand for vehicles transporting goods to site.

There will also be a green roof design, which will aid insulation as well as support biodiversity, alongside secure bicycle sheds and electric car charging points.

Blackfinch Property, part of Blackfinch Group, an investment manager committed to helping individuals, businesses and communities to thrive, considered the deal as an opportunity to provide energy efficient properties.

John Hartigan, investment director at Blackfinch Property, says: “Having funded another project with this experienced developer, we were delighted to support the borrower on the Enfield project, who had themselves taken over the project from a previous developer.

“Our in-house legal team helped resolve the increased complexities that arise with funding a part-built development, particularly one that had originally started a few years ago.”
