About Phoenix Funding
Phoenix Funding Partners operates from South Molton Street in Mayfair and was rebranded in 2024 following the acquisition of Sonic Funding Partners — a well-regarded specialist lender — which brought the team's lending history and broker relationships under the Phoenix brand. Alongside the rebrand, Phoenix announced a strategic partnership with Arena Investors, a global alternative asset manager with offices across 20 countries and tens of billions in assets under management. That institutional backing gives Phoenix capital certainty that smaller specialist lenders can't match.
The product range is broader than most bridging lenders: alongside standard bridging, Phoenix offers development finance, mezzanine finance, third party equity and air rights finance. Air rights finance — lending against the permitted development rights to add storeys to an existing building — is a niche product that very few UK lenders will underwrite. That willingness to structure unconventional transactions is consistent with a team that positions itself as problem-solvers rather than criteria-runners.
Pricing is bespoke per case rather than published on a rate card. The team's stated approach: "Every borrower and situation is unique, so our pricing is too." That flexibility, combined with early certainty of funding, is the core pitch to brokers who have experienced other lenders repricing at the last minute.
