Octopus Real Estate
The property lending arm of Octopus Group, covering residential bridging, development finance, BTL and a specialist healthcare real estate book. Operates through multiple lending vehicles within the Octopus structure rather than a single legal entity. Institutional scale on the development side; broker channel for the smaller-ticket bridging book. Note: contracting party varies by product; verify the operating entity at publish time before citing a CN.
