Specialist mezzanine finance for Shropshire's developers

Development gap funding across the county of Shropshire

Across the 5 Shropshire towns we monitor, 40 residential units are moving through live planning applications, an estimated £9.0m of gross development value. Shrewsbury recorded 1,483 sales in the last 12 months.

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 Shropshire deal. The same numbers are published openly in our UK development pipeline tracker.

Telford is the largest settlement and Shrewsbury the county town. The River Severn enters the county in the west and flows through Shrewsbury.

The product itself works the same in Shropshire 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.
