The Bodmin 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 Bodmin deal starts with the local evidence. Over the last 12 months the town recorded 269 sales at a median of £245,000, down 7.5 percent year on year. New build stock commands a premium of about 132.7 percent over existing homes on 3 new build completions, which matters directly to how we read a developer's sales assumptions.

Gap funding for Bodmin schemes
