The Bridgwater 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 Bridgwater deal starts with the local evidence. Over the last 12 months the town recorded 893 sales at a median of £255,000, up 2 percent year on year. New build stock commands a premium of about 73.3 percent over existing homes on 5 new build completions, which matters directly to how we read a developer's sales assumptions.
