Specialist development and bridging lender Avamore Capital has reported a 91% increase in completion volumes in H2 compared with the same period in 2024.
Q4 2025 marked Avamore’s second-best quarter on record, despite the uncertainty that affected the property market in the build-up to the Autumn Budget at the end of November.
Avamore says its investment in technology has been a major contributor to this growth, driving better operational efficiency, predictability and reliability.
Deals ranged from £238,000 to £5 million across more than 60 loans, covering all of Avamore’s core products, with particular focus on smaller residential schemes, HMOs, and commercial-to-residential conversions. The lender was also active in exit bridging and its signature part-complete loans, although it noted continued viability challenges in the part-complete market.
Co-Managing Director Greg Tarn (pictured, right) said: “We are delighted with the strong growth we’ve seen over the past nine months. It reflects the increased intensity and standards the entire team brings to their work every day. We’re also grateful to our clients, funders, and professional partners – none of this would have been possible without them.
“We’ve set ambitious targets for the months and years ahead, and to all our stakeholders we say: be excited – the journey is just beginning, and we want you along for the ride.”
Avamore’s sales team, led by recently board appointee Adam Butler, has doubled, with high-profile new hires to be announced imminently. The strategic growth aims to enhance origination capabilities while maintaining robust credit and asset management functions, which will, alongside the company’s tech stack, help support a target of originating up to £250 million of new lending in the 2026/27 financial year.
On the loan performance front, Avamore has also made significant strides. Under Finance Director Nicholas Duke, who oversees asset management, the company has nearly halved the non-performing loans (NPLs) under management over the past year, despite persistent challenges in construction and sluggish sales across segments of the housing market.
Commenting on asset performance, Co-Managing Director Jacob Bouet Andersen (pictured, left) said: “It remains a difficult market for many of our clients, but we continue to work proactively with all stakeholders to resolve issues fairly and quickly.
“While recent interest rate cuts are encouraging, we won’t be complacent. Swift, early intervention remains key to our approach. Experience has shown us that letting issues linger makes them far harder to resolve. Our asset management team deserves huge credit for working closely with all our partners to prevent potential problems from turning into NPLs through diligent, proactive oversight and engagement.”
In over 10 years of lending, no Avamore-originated loan has resulted in a capital loss.
