What Is Mezzanine Finance For Property Investment?

Mezzanine finance is frequently used across residential developments, commercial property projects, mixed-use schemes, conversions, refurbishments, and land acquisitions throughout the UK.

Mezzanine finance is a form of subordinated funding that sits between senior debt and investor equity within a property's capital stack. It is commonly used by property developers and investors who need additional capital beyond what a senior lender is willing to provide.
For example, a senior development lender may fund up to 70% of total project costs. Rather than contributing the remaining 30% entirely from their own funds, an investor can use mezzanine finance to bridge part of the gap.
Reduce the amount of cash tied up in a project
Increase leverage responsibly
Preserve capital for future opportunities
Improve overall portfolio growth potential
Complete larger developments than would otherwise be possible
