KHK Capital secures £65m funding facility from Shawbrook and HTB

KHK Capital, the London-based specialist property lender, has secured an increased funding facility of £65m from Shawbrook and Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB), reinforcing its position in the short-term, property-backed lending market.

KHK initially partnered with Shawbrook in 2020, securing a £12.5m facility. The partnership expanded in 2022 when HTB joined the syndicate, supporting strong business growth. Over the past four years, KHK’s loan book has grown to £100m, prompting the latest increase and a three-year extension to its funding arrangement.

KHK has focused on operational efficiency and borrower trust, investing in automated systems while maintaining a streamlined structure. The additional funding will allow the lender to originate new loans and further expand its loan book.

Andy Kent, director at KHK Capital, said: “Securing this additional funding is a significant milestone for KHK Capital, reinforcing our commitment to providing property professionals with tailored, short-term lending solutions. Our relationship with Shawbrook has been instrumental in our growth, and with HTB’s continued support, we are well-positioned to expand our loan book further while maintaining our high standards of service and underwriting expertise.”

Luke Randell, director at Shawbrook, said: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with KHK Capital and support its impressive growth journey. Since 2020, KHK has demonstrated its ability to scale effectively while maintaining a strong underwriting philosophy and client-focused approach. This latest facility increase demonstrates our approach to supporting the long-term growth ambitions of our clients.”

Paul Maurici, managing director at HTB, added: “We are pleased to have played a key role in supporting KHK Capital’s growth alongside Shawbrook. KHK has built a strong reputation in the specialist property lending market, and this latest facility increase ensures they have the capacity to continue meeting the evolving needs of property professionals. We look forward to further strengthening our partnership and supporting KHK’s continued success.”
