What the UK Spending Review Means for Property & Commercial Finance

In June 2025, the Chancellor unveiled the UK’s first multi‑year Spending Review since 2021, with over £113 billion in public investment planned over the next three years. This could open new funding opportunities for property developers, commercial businesses, and SME owners.

Key Impacts for Property & Commercial Finance:

  1. Affordable Housing Boost
    A commitment of £39 billion over the next decade has been set aside for social and affordable housing. This is likely to increase demand for development finance and support infrastructure in adjacent sectors.
  2. Infrastructure & Energy Investment
    Major investment in regional transport and green energy projects means opportunities for developers, contractors, and consultants with links to urban development and sustainable construction.
  3. Support for SME Growth
    While some departments face real-term cuts, targeted regional growth schemes and grants remain in place. This presents a chance for SMEs to access blended finance for expansion or acquisition.
  4. Blended Finance Opportunities
    Public investment can act as a catalyst to attract private finance. If your project supports housing, green energy, transport, or regeneration – it may be time to explore structured finance options.
