Octane Capital reduces risk rating

Octane Capital has reduced its risk rating and has cut rates on its larger bridging, developer exit and refurbishment loans by as much as 2% per annum. 

This is as a result of the improved outlook for the property market and broader political stability following the December General Election result.

Mark Posniak, managing director at Octane Capital, said: “Like other lenders, we regularly review the macro-economic outlook and felt especially compelled to do so in the New Year following the decisive General Election result.

“Our in-house view is that a new environment of greater political certainty will see a lot of pent-up demand for property come through, with subsequent upward pressure on prices.

“We also believe that the Bank of England will counter any continued economic weakness with monetary easing, providing a further boost to the property market through lower borrowing rates.”
