Leading industrial developer, investor and asset manager, Chancerygate, has agreed a comprehensive new funding agreement with Lloyds Bank Commercial Real Estate totalling more than £61m.
The deal comprises a 3-year £26.4m term loan, a £30m revolving credit facility and an innovative £5m revolving development line, which will allow it to build and then immediately refinance up to two new schemes at any one time.
Chancerygate is set to deliver a new industrial park in Harlow that will benefit from the development line. It has pre-lets over 50% of the scheme to Travis Perkins, Dulux and Howdens Joinery.
The revolving credit facility will provide the company with a war chest for new acquisitions and to help refinance parts of its existing portfolio.

Its developments are well located and built to top specifications demanded by a broad spectrum of occupiers. It has a long track record of maximising asset value through strategic management.
