Clearwell Capital has renewed its partnership with alternative asset manager Fasanara Capital and secured a £150m funding facility from HSBC to enable small and medium-sized residential developers to build homes across the UK.
The funding takes Clearwell’s total capacity for residential development finance to over £250m, reflecting continued and growing institutional support. This includes £100m from long-standing partner Fasanara Capital and support from HSBC.
The new capital will be deployed to support small and mid-sized housing schemes, with a strong emphasis on “quality, viability, and timely delivery”.
HSBC’s support reflects rising institutional confidence in independent lenders that demonstrate robust lending practices, strong credit governance, and tech-enabled operations.
Over the past five years, Clearwell Capital has developed a proprietary Loan Management System, designed specifically for development finance, which tracks both construction progress and sales in real time.
The expanded partnership marks a major milestone in Clearwell’s growth and reinforces its ambition to become a leading institutional platform for SME development finance.
Ed Marley Shaw, chief executive of Clearwell Capital, said: “Both HSBC Fasanara share our long-term vision and commitment to SME developers. This facility reflects our institutional readiness and our belief in doing development finance the right way. We can now focus on what we do best: backing deliverable housing projects across the UK.”
Francesco Filia, chief executive of Fasanara Capital, added: “Clearwell remains at the forefront of the use of intelligent systems to deliver asset-based lending. The addition of HSBC provides added firepower, helping our funds deliver scalable, real-economy impact in UK housing.”
