The Havering 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 Havering deal starts with the local evidence. Over the last 12 months the town recorded 2,546 sales at a median of £445,000, up 1.1 percent year on year. New build stock commands a premium of about 12.6 percent over existing homes on 4 new build completions, which matters directly to how we read a developer's sales assumptions.
