Glenhawk Property Finance

About Glenhawk Property Finance

Glenhawk was founded in 2017 by Guy Harrington, an experienced property developer who experienced the frustrations of the bridging lending market as a borrower before deciding to fix them as a lender. The business was built around a single focus — short-term property finance — rather than a broad product range, which has allowed the team to develop genuine depth of expertise in this specific market.

The leadership team is notable for its range of backgrounds. Alongside Harrington's development experience, managing director Nick Hilton brings asset management and bridging expertise, and non-executive director Harry Hill adds institutional weight as founder and former chairman of Rightmove and CEO of Countrywide. That blend of property, finance and technology credentials shapes how Glenhawk approaches product development and client service.

Glenhawk is backed by institutional capital from global investment banks and credit funds, giving it financial stability and lending capacity that pure private lenders can't match. The business is FCA-authorised (via Glenhawk Property Finance Ltd, FRN 826671) and can offer regulated bridging for owner-occupied residential — a capability many bridging lenders lack. A new Structured Real Estate division offers bespoke loans from £5 million to £50 million for high-value residential and living sector assets.
