Lender inks £30m deal with housing association
Southside Housing Association (SHA) will use the five-year £30m loan facility to support the finance of upgrades to existing properties and the building of more than 260 homes, ranging from one to five bedrooms, in Pollokshields and Cardonald.
The revolving credit facility allows SHA to draw on funds when needed, converting the borrowing into longer-term loans.
