Cynergy Bank Provides £26.4 Million Refinancing for Build-to-Rent Development in Worcester

Cynergy Bank has completed a £26.4 million deal with Farlane Capital, supporting the refinancing and stabilisation of Sheriff's Gate, a newly delivered 213-unit build-to-rent (BTR) residential development in Worcester.

The Sheriff's Gate development, acquired by Farlane Capital in April 2025, is situated in Worcester's Shrub Hill regeneration zone. This project addresses the city's pressing need for quality rental housing, offering modern living spaces in an area undergoing significant revitalisation.

Cynergy Bank's financing arrangement includes a 12-month stabilisation period, providing Farlane with the flexibility to implement its letting strategy effectively. The loan structure features a margin stepdown upon achieving key performance milestones, aligning with the project's operational goals.

We are proud to have partnered with Farlane Capital to support the delivery of this scheme in Worcester. This transaction adds to Cynergy Bank’s growing portfolio in the living sector and reinforces our commitment to supporting sustainable housing solutions in regional growth areas across the UK.”
