All properties will be subject to one or more fully repairing and insuring leases with one or more housing associations in England, regulated by the Homes and Communities Agency. The initial drawdown will be for c. £5m, with the balance expected to be drawn over the next 12 to 18 months.

The Loan Notes will be issued by GCP Programme Funding 1 Limited, an intermediary company set up for these purposes.

The acquisition of the Loan Note has been financed from existing cash reserves.
