We work with a network of senior lenders, mezzanine providers, and capital partners to build the optimal capital stack for each transaction.

Frequently asked questions
What is structured property finance?
Structured property finance involves creating bespoke, multi-layered funding solutions that combine different types of debt and equity — such as senior loans, mezzanine tranches, and preferred equity — to fund complex property transactions.
What size transactions do you arrange?
We typically arrange structured finance for transactions from £2 million to over £100 million, though the minimum depends on the complexity and type of structure required.
How does mezzanine finance work?
Mezzanine finance sits between senior debt and equity in the capital structure. It allows borrowers to achieve higher overall leverage (often 75–90% of costs) while the mezzanine lender earns a higher return to reflect the increased risk.
