About Lakeshield.
Backed by private capital. Built for brokers that need certainty.
Why we built Lakeshield.
We didn’t set out to build just another lender that does what everyone else does.
With backgrounds in property finance, we’d both seen too many good deals die because of lenders dragging their feet or hiding behind policies. We got fed up with that.
Lakeshield exists to fix it: privately funded, lean, and structured so brokers always deal with people who can make decisions.
We focus on issuing terms we’re confident in, and seeing those deals through to completion, fast.

Meet the team.
Who we are.
Lakeshield is a privately funded lender specialising in short-term property finance, with the flexibility to back deals that other lenders overcomplicate.
We work exclusively through brokers who want decisions, not delays.
Our approach is straightforward: clear decisions, direct communication, and delivery of funds within agreed timelines.
What makes us different.
Truly Flexible Lending
We're backed by private capital, which allows us to structure loans pragmatically and assess each deal on its own merits.
Terms You Can Trust
Straightforward, reliable terms that we stick to until completion, with no changes mid-deal to frustrate your clients.
Fast Decisions
Common-sense underwriting and credit-backed decisions mean brokers get clear answers and deals progress quickly.
Talk to Decision Makers
Your BDM, your underwriter, or direct access to a decision maker - our team is set up so you always speak to someone with authority.
We Back the Asset
We focus on the property's value and the exit strategy, not just credit scores. Every deal is assessed on its own merits.
Built to Back Brokers
We're transparent, easy to reach, and work in partnership with brokers to help them deliver for their clients.
