Hodge has officially launched its refreshed and repositioned Hodge Real Estate Finance division with a launch event in central London. Bringing together leading property developers, investors, brokers and industry professionals, the launch event marked a significant milestone in Hodge's market-leading strategy to redefine the future of real estate finance – committed to making it faster, more transparent and firmly rooted in trusted relationships. 
 
This new chapter reflects Hodge's commitment to providing a fresh, relationship-driven approach to the sector, with a clear focus on delivering flexible property development and investment finance solutions that work for today's market. 
 
Celebrating the future of fast, flexible real estate finance 
 
The event was hosted to introduce the market to an approach which focuses on agility, clarity, and tailored solutions. With its expert team, Hodge is positioning itself as the lender for property professionals who value a trusted no-nonsense, personal service. 
 
John Carter, recently appointed Head of Real Estate Finance at Hodge, was delighted with the turnout and the energy and enthusiasm at the launch event: 
 
It was fantastic to see so many of our industry colleagues and customers come together to celebrate this next, exciting chapter for Hodge Real Estate Finance.  
 
“Our team is here to focus on what really matters to developers and investors. Namely, certainty, speed, and direct communication with decision-makers. The event demonstrated just how much appetite there is for the flexible, relationship-driven service we are offering, and I'd like to thank everyone who was able to join us.” 
 
The relaxed setting offered guests a chance to connect and speak one-to-one with members of the Hodge Real Estate Finance team and learn more about the Hodge's refreshed, unique offer - designed to provide real estate funding solutions without the fuss. 
 
Lestyn Lewis, CEO of Rengen Developments, added:
 
“Hodge's personal, dexterous approach is exactly what the property market needs right now. The launch event showed the Hodge team is committed to doing things differently and doing them better, in a way that will give their customers a competitive edge.” 
 
As the real estate sector continues to navigate shifting market conditions, Hodge leads in its ability to move quickly - often several weeks faster than its nearest competitors.
