This is the fourth facility the client has secured from Aldermore for commercial investment property purchases in the last 12 months.

Graham Ritchie, head of commercial mortgages north at Aldermore Bank (pictured above), said: “It’s been a pleasure to work with Harpreet again, as he further expands his already established commercial property portfolio across Yorkshire. 

“He has extensive real estate investment experience and our expertise and knowledge in the region meant we were able to work closely with him to provide the funding solution he needed to expand his commercial property portfolio.

“This is another great example of a client continuing to return to Aldermore for investment support and demonstrates the value placed on developing strong relationships.” 

Harpreet added : “Aldermore’s funding has continued to support our growth plans in an ongoing challenging economic environment. 

“We look forward to growing this partnership as we work towards exceeding our first major milestone of £100m in assets under ownership within the next two years. 

“Real Estate Investments Group 1 is committed to donating a percentage of its profit to support local, regional, national and international causes and charities through its Making an Impact Fund.”
