Regent Letting secures £3.5m investment to fund buyout and growth




Estate management firm Regent Letting and Property Management Ltd has secured a £3.5m investment from specialist finance provider Growth Lending.

The funding will enable the management buyout of historic minority shareholders, as well as providing capital to support future expansion as the company strengthens its position in London’s competitive premium lettings market.

Regent manages London residential properties on behalf of international landlords, with clients concentrated across China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

K3 Advantage, led by Jack Kerkham, provided the financial and tax due diligence, and Fieldfisher provided legal support.

Growth Lending then worked closely with Regent to structure a facility that reflected the complexity of the transaction and the long-term needs of the business.

Alex Smith, managing director at Regent Letting, commented: “Partnering with Growth Lending and being supported by K3 Advantage has been outstanding.


“Huge thanks to Chris Mears, Rob Adams and Ashleigh Denny for their proactive support in enabling our MBO and getting it over the line, together with the team at K3A. This unlocks real momentum for Regent’s next chapter.”

Chris Mears, regional head at Growth Lending, said: “It has been an absolute pleasure working with the Regent team.

“This transaction will release the business from a restrictive shareholding structure and establish a platform for further growth.

“We have been hugely impressed with the team’s energy, client focus and deep market knowledge and look forward to supporting the journey ahead.”

Sam Phillips, managing director at K3 Advantage, added: “I am delighted that K3 Advantage has worked alongside Growth Lending and Regent.

“We are proud to have provided insights that enabled Regent Group to move forward confidently and look forward to working with Growth Lending as part of its due diligence panel.”
