Specialist Property Lending

KHK Capital provides short-term, property-backed loans to property professionals for business purposes.
Our borrower’s typically use the funds to refurbish or develop the properties, then sell or refinance.
KHK started life in 2016 as a small “family office”, offering loans with our own funds. We gradually brought in cash from other HNW private investors, and in 2020 established a formal revolving credit facility from a major bank, which funded continued growth.
We have kept our own funds alongside our investors throughout and continue to do so.
