Mezzanine

Mezzanine debt & finance is designed to increase overall leverage while reducing the amount of equity required.

Mezzanine finance

Mezzanine finance is a powerful funding solution that sits behind senior debt, enabling developers to maximise leverage and minimise upfront equity. By bridging the gap between senior lending—typically up to 60–70% of Gross Development Value (GDV)—and total funding of up to 85–90%, mezzanine finance allows you to deliver larger projects while preserving your own capital.

Although it carries a higher cost due to its second-charge position, mezzanine funding is often far more efficient than introducing an equity partner, helping you retain a greater share of your profits. Structured alongside senior debt, both facilities are drawn in stages as your development progresses, ensuring funding aligns seamlessly with your build programme.

With the right structure in place, mezzanine finance becomes a strategic tool - freeing up capital so you can scale your pipeline, take on multiple opportunities and accelerate the growth of your development portfolio.

Mezzanine debt

Mezzanine debt is a specialist layer of funding that sits behind senior finance, designed to increase overall leverage while reducing the amount of equity required. Typically used in property development and investment scenarios, it bridges the gap between senior lending and the developer’s own capital - enabling total funding of up to 85–90% of the project’s value.

Structured as a second-charge facility, mezzanine debt carries a higher return to reflect its position in the capital stack. However, it remains a highly effective alternative to equity funding, allowing you to retain greater control and a larger share of project profits.

When deployed strategically, mezzanine debt enhances purchasing power, supports portfolio growth and enables you to execute larger or multiple opportunities without overextending your own capital.
