Still stuck waiting on credit committee approvals?

The industry is full of lenders who promise speed, but deliver delays. At Lakeshield, we cut through the excuses and move deals to completion.

Direct access to
decision-makers

Lakeshield BDMs talk to our credit team about every case. If you want to talk to the people making the call, you can.

Decisions within
24 hours

We don't drag our heels. If a deal works for us, you'll get a clear answer quickly. If it doesn't, you'll know just as fast.

Smart funding,
not box-ticking

We underwrite deals on real-world logic, not rigid criteria. If a case makes sense, we'll find a way and structure a deal around it.

Clear process. Consistent outcomes.

We work the same way on every deal: quick decisions, clear communication, and reliable delivery.

1. Submit

Complete our quick online enquiry form, or send the details to your BDM. We focus on what matters, not unnecessary paperwork.

2. Speak to us

From underwriters to our credit committee, you can talk directly to someone with authority. No gatekeepers. No waiting for updates.

3. Move forward

Same-day terms, quick valuations, and experienced solicitors to keep deals moving. This is the same process that underpins our 7-day residential bridging product.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brilliant service from the team at Lakeshield. 'How can we find a way to make the deal work' comes to mind, rather than putting up reasons why it doesn't fit policy.
James Alexander
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Massive shoutout to Lakeshield for saving a deal that looked completely dead. Our client was facing receivership, and with just 14 days to complete a £945k re-bridge on a £1.4m property.
