ENRA SPECIALIST FINANCE SIGNS A LANDMARK £500M BRIDGING FACILITY WITH J.P. MORGAN

Enra Specialist Finance signed a new facility with J.P. Morgan to fund its bridging portfolio. The facility will allow Enra, under the West One brand, to fund up to £750 million of loans alongside other funding sources.

Building on our already well-diversified funding platform, this is the latest in a series of significant advancements made in the past 12 months – launching the inaugural £270m public securitisation last November and £250m forward-flow arrangement agreed in February (also with JP Morgan). This new facility will allow us to add further scale to our short-term lending platform as well as substantially reducing our cost of borrowing.

With annual originations in excess of £1.5bn, we are targeting continued growth through 2021 and 2022 and intend to expand assets under management significantly beyond the current level of £1.2bn. Partnering with global financial institutions to build a large scale, cost effective and robust funding platform is a key enabler of our growth strategy.

Our close relationship with JP Morgan has been developing for some time now, firstly with the forward-flow arrangement and now with this landmark bridging facility. We are pleased that JP Morgan has recognised our status as the pre-eminent lender in the specialist mortgage space. Likewise, we recognise the value of our relationship with JP Morgan as a world leading institution.

We’re really excited to continue to build the relationship further.
