Marked by a launch event in central London last month, Hodge has officially launched its refreshed and repositioned Real Estate Finance division. The event brought together leading property developers, investors, brokers and industry professionals to mark a significant milestone in Hodge’s market-leading strategy to redefine the future of real estate finance – committed to making it faster, more transparent and firmly rooted in trusted relationships.

This new chapter reflects Hodge’s commitment to providing a fresh, relationship-driven approach to the sector, with a clear focus on delivering flexible property development and investment finance solutions that work for today’s market.

Celebrating the future of fast, flexible real estate finance

The networking event was hosted to introduce the market to a real estate finance approach which focuses on agility, clarity, and tailored solutions. With its expert team, Hodge is positioning itself as the lender for property professionals who value a trusted no-nonsense, personal service.

John Carter, managing director of Real Estate Finance at Hodge, was delighted with the turnout and the energy at the launch event and is looking forward to helping more property developers and investors via a relationship focused approach:

“It was fantastic to see so many of our industry colleagues and customers come together to celebrate this next, exciting chapter for Hodge Real Estate Finance.

“Property developers and investors are operating in a challenging market, often navigating complex planning systems, managing rising costs and ensuring compliance with evolving safety and sustainability standards. Our team is here to help make their lives that bit easier and focus on what really matters – namely, certainty, speed, and direct communication with decision-makers.

“The event demonstrated just how much appetite there is for the flexible, relationship-driven service we’re offering, and I’d like to thank everyone who was able to join us.”

The relaxed setting offered guests a chance to connect and speak one-to-one with members of the Hodge Real Estate Finance team and learn more about the Hodge’s refreshed, unique offer – designed to provide real estate funding solutions without the fuss.
