Hunter Finance

Where we operate

Hunter Finance are based in Uckfield, East Sussex and we finance property development projects across South East England and London. We prefer to lend to projects closer to us because we believe having a deeper understanding of the local market gives us a better prediction of GDV and enables us to support our property developers better.

The Management Team

All our staff have hands-on development expertise, so you will deal with people who really understand the issues and challenges that you are facing, and will be able to help you find the best solution moving forward.

Bill Hunter

Leading Director

Bill Hunter founded Hunter Finance in 2010, on the premise that there was a very obvious gap in the market, where legitimate, viable business proposals from multiple property developers and builders were being rejected by banks.

Bill found success with his computer networks company, which placed a relentless focus on customer satisfaction. In 2008, Bill sold the company to a billion-pound corporation for an eight-figure sum, which allowed him to place part of his own fortune into funding Hunter Finance.

This unique situation allowed Bill to lend his own wealth to developers throughout the South East.

By lending his own money, it has made it quicker and easier for our developers to arrange loans for properties. This unique approach has always been the main factor behind the success of Hunter Finance. Since 2010 Hunter has financed hundreds of development.

James Bougon

Leading Director

James graduated from Southampton and joined the investment team at Hunter Finance in 2013. His employment became a crucial cog in Hunter Finance’s continued success in the upcoming years.

Now as the companies Lending Director, James is the point of contact for all upcoming and live developments, supporting clients through the Hunter Finance lending process from initial enquiry to project completion.

James enabled Hunter Finance to continue to grow its business while remaining true to the core ethos of the company, which is excellent customer satisfaction and transparency.

Why are Hunter Finance different?

We are unlike banks in that we lend our own funds as independent lenders. Obtaining funding through the banks or corporate investors can be time consuming and expensive. As independent lenders, we can make decisions quickly, allowing you to continue with the progress of your property development project.
