Daizun Investments exists because we believe the property finance sector can — and should — be different. That is why we have made it our mission to offer fast, flexible, and tailored bridging loans and development loans solutions, built around real relationships and honest conversations. We serve property developers and real estate businesses that value trust, transparency, and personal service. Since our inception, we have challenged the impersonal lending processes. Our goal is to make financing easy and straightforward and cut out the unnecessary red tape and generic customer service.
We are a family-run business with deep roots in property and finance. Founded by cousins David Rogers and James Edwards in early 2020, Daizun brings over 25 years of combined industry experience in property development and finance. Yet, our roots go even deeper. David and James’s grandfather, Dennis Gladwell, was the Managing Director of Midland Bank (now HSBC) and played the leading role in creating the Bankers’ Automated Clearance System (BACS). This system has processed over £5 trillion worth of transactions worldwide.
The values Dennis Gladwell taught his family — integrity, trust, and excellence — are still the heart of everything we do at Daizun . With this legacy, we put our clients first. We create relationships grounded in transparency, integrity, and a shared aim for success. Lending should always be human, and our family values ensure we approach every client’s needs with care and a personal touch.
The world of property finance is often bogged down by slow decision-making, red tape, and lack of flexibility; but not here. We’ve seen first-hand how these barriers slow down progress, create frustration and cost borrowers money. By keeping our funding self-managed, we keep decision-makers within reach. This allows us to break through those barriers and move faster than most competitors. Our bridging loans and development loans are tailored to suit each client’s needs. No matter whether it’s for a residential development or a commercial project.
At Daizun, we do more than provide loans; being property developers ourselves we’re here to empower developers with the financial tools they need to turn visions into reality, but also the understanding of the processes and what is required. From initial enquiry to loan approval and beyond, we ensure a seamless process that focuses on what truly matters: getting things done.
We boast a solid track record of successful projects and a high percentage of returning clients. We’re also members of NACFB and FIBA, which helps us maintain our reputation as a reliable partner in property finance. Our self-funded strategy and commitment to flexibility set us apart. This allows us to build lasting relationships with clients across the UK.
David has over 25 years of combined experience in property and finance, successfully founding, building and scaling large fintech businesses and exiting at their peak, alongside his prior decades in property development.
James has 20 years of financial experience running businesses across the hedge fund market maker Citadel Securities, global investment bank JPMorgan and data provider Bloomberg.
A Chartered Tax Advisor and Manager of Private Clients at PwC for 8 years, Ndiwe brings an expertise to the firm within accountancy, risk and strategy. Directly involved in the risk assessment after origination.

At Daizun, trust is the foundation of everything we do. As a family-run business, we believe in being transparent and building lasting relationships. This reflects our clear communication and commitment to keeping promises. It is, after all, what helps our clients feel confident throughout the process. Because to us, you’re more than just a client. You’re a valued partner.
We understand that every funding need is unique, and so is every client. Our flexibility allows us to craft tailored finance solutions that work for your specific needs and timelines. This value is reflected in how we adapt quickly to changing circumstances and move fast to keep your project on track, or to not miss out on those opportunities that rarely stick around for long
In property development, time is money, and we’re here to help you move quickly. Our quick decision-making lets us approve loans faster than many traditional lenders. This speed comes from having direct access to the decision-makers. We take pride in cutting down delays and providing quick, efficient solutions that help developers succeed.
Our family values are at the heart of our approach. We treat every client and every project with the same care and attention we’d give our own family. From our personal involvement in every deal to our commitment to long-term success, we’re always here to support our clients. That way, they get a personal touch that larger, more impersonal lenders can’t provide.
At Daizun, we pride ourselves on a straight-talking approach to property finance. We understand the property sector because we’re developers ourselves. That’s why we’re able to make quick, independent decisions. Our self-funded model enables us to move quickly, approving loans in a fraction of the time other lenders take. Whether you handle residential, commercial, or light refurbishment projects, get in touch. We offer tailored, flexible solutions that meet your unique needs. You’ll have direct access to decision-makers and a team that’s invested in the success of your project from start to finish.
