Mezzanine finance for Newbury developers

The Newbury market, in numbers we underwrite from

A mezzanine loan is a view on whether a scheme will sell at the price its appraisal claims, so every Newbury deal starts with the local evidence. Over the last 12 months the town recorded 616 sales at a median of £351,750, down 8.6 percent year on year. New build stock commands a premium of about 134.3 percent over existing homes on 3 new build completions, which matters directly to how we read a developer's sales assumptions.

Gap funding for Newbury schemes

The structure is the same one we write everywhere: your senior lender keeps first charge and funds the majority of cost, our mezzanine finance takes a second charge over the next slice, and your equity requirement falls, typically from around 35 percent of cost to 5 or 10. Terms run 6 to 36 months, pricing is indicatively from 12 percent a year, and a complete enquiry gets a term sheet inside 48 hours.
