ASK Partners completed a multi-phase financing for a prime residential redevelopment on Lansdowne Walk, Notting Hill, supporting an experienced sponsor from acquisition and planning through to full development funding. The transaction reflects ASK’s partnership approach, providing flexible capital at key stages to unlock value and progress complex development strategies.

In March 2023, ASK, alongside OakNorth Bank, provided a £22.75m senior acquisition and planning facility secured against two freehold properties at 2–4 and 12–14 Lansdowne Walk, within the Ladbroke Conservation Area. Following the successful grant of planning consent in November 2024, ASK agreed a £77.95m senior development facility in 2025, refinancing the original loan in full and providing funding to deliver the scheme through construction and fit-out.

The client has agreed a pre-sale of the affordable component to a housing association and the development is progressing well towards practical completion
