  • a £32.6 million refinancing and increase of a £22 million senior facility arranged by Rothschild & Co for Newcore Strategic Situations IV LP, its £150 million value-add fund; the fund is fully invested and the proceeds will be used for capital expenditure on assets
  • a refinancing of an £11 million senior facility from Lloyds Bank for Newcombe Estates, a UK family office property company, established in 1905, which is managed by Newcore 
  • a refinancing of a £6.2 million senior facility from NatWest for Newcore Strategic Situations III LP

Neil Sarkhel, chief operating officer of Newcore, said: “The four debt transactions demonstrate the good appetite from lenders for the core product that Newcore creates. Newcore’s B Corp status was also a positive factor in the discussions we had with lenders”.
