About Clearwell Capital
Clearwell Capital was founded to fill a gap in the bridging market for a lender that combines genuine speed with flexibility on non-standard cases. Many bridging lenders advertise fast completions but struggle with anything outside their standard criteria. Clearwell was built to handle both straightforward and complex transactions efficiently.
The firm offers first-charge bridging loans for property acquisition, auction completion, refinance, and capital-raise, secured against residential, semi-commercial, and commercial assets across England and Wales. Clearwell Capital has experience with properties including mixed-use buildings, conversions, period properties, and assets requiring light refurbishment.
Clearwell Capital is broker-only and has built strong relationships with intermediaries who specialise in complex and non-standard cases. The lender's credit team has deep property sector experience and takes a practical view on each application, focusing on the viability of the exit strategy and the quality of the underlying security.
