Five years of Cator Wells Finance.

Today marks five years since Cator Wells was established. A lot has changed in that time, but the way we approach our work hasn't.

When we started, we wanted to build a property finance business that does the work before a deal ever reaches a lender, understanding the client, the project and the numbers properly, being honest when something doesn't stack up, and staying with it right through to completion.

One review we received this year probably captures it better than we could:
“We came to Cator Wells with a project that threw up hurdle after hurdle, and time and again Daniel found a way through.”

That's the job. Not every transaction is straightforward, and the ones that aren't are often where we're most useful.

Over the last five years, we've worked alongside developers, landlords, investors, lenders and professional teams across the UK, funding everything from fast auction bridges through to an £11.8m regeneration scheme in Leicester and a £5.8m coastal conversion.

Along the way, we've built strong relationships across the lending market too. One lender recently described the value of working with a broker who “truly knows their clients inside out.”

Those comments mean a lot because they reflect what we've always tried to build Cator Wells around, knowing our clients, understanding the transaction, communicating properly and being prepared to keep working when a project isn't straightforward.

Five years in, the team continues to grow, our lender relationships continue to strengthen, and we're looking forward to what comes next.

A big thank you to every developer, landlord, lender, introducer and professional who has trusted Dan, John, and the team with a project.

Here's to the next five!

We’re looking forward to being back at UK Construction Week in Birmingham next week, for our third year exhibiting.

It’s always a valuable opportunity to meet people from across the property and construction sectors, catch up with existing clients and contacts, and have conversations around the projects currently being considered and brought forward.

The Cator Wells team will be there throughout the event to discuss development finance, bridging, commercial property finance and the wider funding requirements behind property projects.

Every property project has different funding requirements.
Whether it is funding a new development, acquiring a property, refinancing an existing asset or raising capital, the finance needs to be structured around the individual transaction.

At Cator Wells, we work with developers and property owners across development finance, bridging finance, commercial mortgages and second charge lending.
With access to a wide range of lenders and over 20 years’ property and finance experience, we help clients assess the options available and put the right funding structure in place.

If you have a project you would like to discuss, get in touch.

The lowest interest rate does not always represent the best funding option.
When assessing finance, the wider structure of the facility matters. Leverage, fees, flexibility, speed of ex*****on and certainty of funding can all have a significant impact on the project and its overall viability.

A slightly lower headline rate can quickly become less important if the facility does not properly support the requirements of the project.

At Cator Wells, we look at the wider picture and compare funding options based on the needs of the transaction, not simply the headline rate.

The right finance is about finding the right fit for the project.

The earlier finance becomes part of the conversation, the more opportunity there is to shape a project with funding in mind.

That means looking at the numbers, structure, costs, timescales and exit strategy before key decisions are made, rather than simply approaching lenders once funding is required.

At Cator Wells, we work alongside developers from the early stages of a project, helping identify potential issues, understand lender requirements and structure the finance accordingly.

Early preparation can make a significant difference to the options available later.
If you’re considering a new project, speak to us early.

Property finance can involve a number of moving parts, and making sure clients understand what is required and why is an important part of the service we provide.

Property finance should be structured around the project, not the other way around.
Every development has different requirements, from the level of funding required and the structure of the deal through to timescales and the proposed exit.

At Cator Wells, we work with developers and property owners to understand the project, assess the options available and structure the right finance for their requirements.

From development and bridging finance through to commercial mortgages and second charge lending, our focus is on finding the most appropriate route for each transaction.

If you have a project you’re considering, speak to us early.
