We’re committed to responsible lending –especially when it comes to reducing the carbon footprint of our industry. That’s why we launched our pilot sustainable lending programme to incentivise smaller SME developers to reduce the carbon impact of their developments.
Qualifying developments and developers enjoy a lower cost of borrowing in return for substantial, evidenced reductions in the carbon impact of their developments.
We were the first SME focused development lender to join the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC), which is a forum of industry leaders dedicated to driving greater sustainability in real estate and construction. As a Gold Leaf member, we join the UKGBC’s 600 members which include Britain’s biggest and most influential housebuilders as well as the real estate arms of banks and institutional investors.
Working with support from the Royal Institute of British Architects and a panel of expert collaborators, we aim to cut carbon in the built environment by seamlessly connecting capital seeking low-carbon opportunities with the most ambitious low-carbon property developers.
We are working hard to manage our carbon footprint so that we can set ambitious and measurable targets towards net zero.
We are well placed to make a positive impact on local communities, by supporting the regeneration of brownfield sites and the upcycling and rejuvenation of existing and often unloved buildings.
“Atelier is very innovative in their approach, and found a creative solution to get a £500k overage payment as part of the facility. Many banks and lenders would have said no immediately because of their rigid financing models – but Atelier is incredibly flexible thanks to their custom-made deals.”
“I think Atelier is leading the way. They meet every question head on, and can structure loans accordingly – responding faster than others. The process was smooth and hurdles were overcome easily, plus they met all the key sta in person with an open-arms approach to getting the deal agreed.”

We craft individual lending solutions designed around you –because we know no two developments are the same.
We operate to institutional standards and have a culture of continual improvement. Our ISO 9001 certification demonstrates our commitment to excellence.
