Lender gains access to the association's commercial finance community
Specialist lender Hilco Real Estate Finance (HREF) has joined the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) as a patron lender.
The partnership allows the property lender to connect with the trade body’s network of more than 2,500 brokers across over 1,100 member firms to introduce its new bridging loan service.
“NACFB membership is a badge of quality with the association bringing together finance brokers, lenders and suppliers to the commercial finance broking industry, all of whom operate to a high standard,” said Sean Adams (pictured left), managing director at Hilco Real Estate Finance.
“While part of a long-established global financial services group, HREF UK is fairly new to the UK short-term property lending market and, as a specialist lender acting across a broad range of real estate market sectors, we are keen to build and enhance relationships with quality commercial finance brokers nationwide.
“This is an ideal opportunity to raise awareness of our flexible approach to lending and our ability to think ‘outside the box’. Renowned within the sector, the NACFB provides a friendly, supportive community and we are looking forward to taking an active role within it.”

Norman Chambers (pictured right), NACFB managing director, said HREF’s solutions would be widely welcomed by members looking for real estate finance solutions for their clients.
“Last year, our members facilitated more than £38 billion in lending to UK SMEs with three quarters (73%) of the total transaction value originating from property-related sectors,” Chambers added. “The fact that HREF’s offering covers the whole of the UK and all sectors will be particularly popular.”
