Mezzanine Finance Loans

We specialise in 'mezzanine finance' funding lines whether you seek funding as a property developer or seek to purchase property and need the mezzanine finance slice for short term basis.

 'Mezzanine finance' mortgage or 'loan' in relation to property typically refers to a tier in a company's capital structure between debt and equity, or can be simply described a 'second layer' of lending subordinated to the the 'first charge'. Just as a mezzanine floor in architecture is an intermediate floor between two different floors of a building.

  Mezzanine funding typically consist of second lien debt in property development and acquisition transactions. In addition, mezzanine debt is similar to bank debt may include mandatory prepayments tied to debt or separately negotiated with the funder. Mezzanine finance is prevalent in deals with inherent market risk, therefore functioning as a buffer to the senior lenders credit exposure and risk mitigation mechanism.

  At times Mezzanine funders may seek to enhance their returns by negotiating for equity participation alongside their debt investments for a property development project (at times referred to as an "equity kicker". We have been involved in structuring joint ventures where the stakeholder has had limited capability for a cash injection, or additional security with no real equity giving 100% funding, but is often in exceptional circumstances.

  Property developers and stakeholders often use mezzanine investment loans to bridge a gap between the first mortgage and their equity investment in a particular project. Mezzanine financing can often provide anywhere between 10% and 40% of a development project's funding needs. But in general a contribution is required from the property developer, as hard cash or security.

There is means to structure a property proposal and sweat the mezzanine debt to maximum effect whilst structuring a proposal - when looking at project development costs one has to weigh, the cost of opportunity and return. In the current economic climate where funding is tight for property development projects, 'mezz funding' can make the difference to put a project in play or not.
