We’ve built our development programme from a strong financial foundation and have the arrangements in place to achieve our ambition to deliver more than 500 homes a year. In 2017, we secured an £80 million loan investment from Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking and Handelsbanken to facilitate our further growth and development. This loan is in addition to the successful pricing of a £150 million bond issue (including £45 million retained bonds) which we announced in 2014 through our treasury financing company, Cambridgeshire Housing Capital plc. The bond carries a coupon of 4.250% and has a maturity of 31 years, and was priced at a semi-annual yield of 4.297%. This equated to a spread of 1.20% over the benchmark gilt at the time of pricing. 

In November 2019, Cambridgeshire Housing Capital issued a further £100 million 4.25% secured bonds, with draw down deferred until September 2021, through a tap on its existing bond. View documents related to Cambridgeshire Housing Capital bonds. 

In 2021, we announced one of the first SONIA (Sterling Overnight Index Average) funded loans, a risk-free loan, secured in the housing association sector. The £50 million funding package from Natwest is being used to continue to drive our development ambitions.

In 2023, Standard and Poor’s confirmed that we achieved an A rating and a positive outlook. Read more about our Standard and Poor's rating.
