Long Harbour, the real estate investment manager and leader in operational real estate, has secured a 5-year £160 million investment loan from NatWest secured against two completed BTR assets in London.

The Eades in Walthamstow comprises 495 high-quality homes for rent across two towers, including 99 available at Discount to Market Rent. Residents have access to over 25,000 square feet of community amenities, ranging from co-working spaces, a gym and yoga studio to a rooftop terrace with breath taking views across London. The asset is almost fully let, having reached Practical Completion in September 2025. Four units have also been let as part of LandAid’s BTR pathfinders initiative, helping to end youth homelessness.

Riverstone Heights in East London comprises 204 high-quality homes for rent, part of Leaside Lock, the vibrant riverside development in East London. The asset is fully stabilised, having reached practical completion in March 2023.

Both assets are managed day to day by Long Harbour’s vertically integrated platform, Way of Life, combining the investment, development, and asset management capabilities of Long Harbour, with Way of Life’s tech-enabled operating and property management platform to maximise long-term asset performance. Way of Life ranks among the UK's top three BTR management companies, with over 2,500 units under management. The platform maintains exceptional tenant satisfaction, with 97% of residents recommending Way of Life as a landlord.

Both assets sit within the LHMF 2 JV Partnership. Across Long Harbour’s multifamily vehicles it manages over 2,200 high-quality rental homes across the UK and currently has over £1bn of AUM.

Rebecca Taylor, Managing Director of Multifamily at Long Harbour, said: “

This debt facility demonstrates the strength of the Build to Rent sector's investment proposition, where the ongoing imbalance between demand and supply continues to support growth. The Eades and Riverstone Heights are exceptional assets, and our team has shown real operational strength through our vertically integrated platform, Way of Life, delivering long term income streams and helping us secure this attractive new financing from NatWest.

"Both assets sit within regeneration zones, providing high quality, professionally managed homes for local people as well as attracting residents from across London. As supply of quality Build to Rent homes in the capital remains constrained and demand keeps growing, we are confident in the long term prospects of these two prime assets, which stand to benefit significantly from this financing.”

Michael Goode, Director & BTR lead at NatWest said: "The continuation of NatWest's financing of The Eades, which we've funded through development and stabilisation, is testament to the product brought forward by the Long Harbour team and we are delighted to add another excellent example of BTR accommodation, in Riverstone Heights, to the facility."
