Structuring mezzanine alongside senior debt requires careful coordination. The mezzanine lender needs comfort that the senior facility terms are workable, while the senior lender needs assurance that the mezzanine won't interfere with their security position. We manage this process to ensure both parties are aligned before commitment.
Profit-share mezzanine structures are increasingly common for larger schemes, where the mezzanine provider takes a percentage of net development profit instead of, or in addition to, a fixed interest rate. This can reduce your cash cost of capital during the build phase, with the mezzanine return contingent on the scheme's success.
The decision to use mezzanine finance should be driven by a clear capital efficiency rationale. If you have sufficient equity for a single project but want to deploy across two or three schemes simultaneously, mezzanine can multiply your effective development capacity without requiring external equity partners.
The region's industrial heritage creates abundant conversion opportunities, from Victorian mills and factories to post-war commercial buildings with permitted development potential. Build costs are competitive, and the presence of multiple universities drives consistent demand for purpose-built student accommodation and HMO conversions.
