Housing Solutions has secured a £50m revolving credit
facility (RCF) from the bank Santander. The 7,500-home association took out the
facility, which will last five years and can be drawn down and repaid as it
likes over that time, as an “insurance policy”, it said. Andrew Robertson,
finance and resources director at Housing Solutions, told Inside Housing: “The
RCF gives us a potential cash bridge in the event that capital markets got
tighter or pricing got more expensive, what with Brexit going on at the moment.
We may not be using it on day one. It’s there as an insurance policy.
Obviously, we have to pay commitment fees while it’s undrawn but we think
that’s sensible.” Read more on Inside Housing.
