Specialist mezzanine finance for Powys's developers
Second-charge development funding that lifts combined leverage to 90 to 95 percent of cost, underwritten with live planning and sold-price data from 6 Powys towns. We lend from our own book and arrange whole of market where that serves you better.
Development gap funding across the county of Powys
Our monitors cover 6 towns across Powys. The live pipeline is quiet in the current window, which often signals less competition for sites rather than less opportunity. Hay on Wye recorded 1,174 sales in the last 12 months, while Builth Wells carries the county's strongest pricing at a median of £280,000.
That data is not decoration: it is how we underwrite. A mezzanine loan is a view on whether a scheme will sell at the price its appraisal claims, so we track every live application and recorded sale in the towns above before we price a Powys deal. The same numbers are published openly in our UK development pipeline tracker.
Powys is the largest and most sparsely populated county in Wales. It is predominantly mountainous, rural and agricultural, with the lowest population density of any Welsh principal area.
The product itself works the same in Powys as everywhere we lend: 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 35 percent of cost to 5 or 10. Terms run 6 to 36 months with pricing indicatively from 12 percent a year, and a complete enquiry gets a term sheet inside 48 hours. Model your own scheme with the leverage calculator.

Mezzanine finance in Powys, answered
Do you lend on developments in Powys?
Yes. We provide second-charge mezzanine finance for residential and mixed-use schemes across the county of Powys, typically taking combined leverage to 85 to 95 percent of cost alongside a senior facility. Where a case suits another funder's appetite better, we arrange it whole of market instead.
What does mezzanine finance cost in Powys?
Pricing is set by the deal rather than the postcode: indicatively 12 to 18 percent a year with an arrangement fee of 1.5 to 2.5 percent. What moves it is leverage, track record, profit on cost and the strength of the exit, and Powys schemes with sales evidence from markets like Hay on Wye price at the stronger end.
Which Powys towns do you cover?
All of them. The towns listed on this page are the ones our data monitors track, including Brecon, Builth Wells, Hay on Wye, Llandrindod Wells, but we lend and arrange across the whole county and the wider region.
How quickly can a Powys scheme get a term sheet?
The same as anywhere we lend: a complete enquiry gets a considered credit view and term sheet inside 48 hours, and typical enquiry to drawdown is 4 to 6 weeks alongside your senior lender's process.
