Winchester Financial has close relationships with mezzanine lenders throughout the UK who provide the shortfall after the senior debt (bank loan), some mezzanine providers will lend the entire shortfall thus facilitating 100% funding, some will require the developer to put 10% into the deal, and finally others will find 100% without the need for a senior debt lender.

Equity/Joint Venture Partners provide the difference between what the senior debt lenders have offered and what is needed to complete the project, for this they take a share of the development profits, typically 50/50. Most will require the developer to provide a cost overrun guarantee to protect the Equity/Joint Venture partners return. The investor will either take shares in the new SPV or enter into a profit sharing agreement, a second charge will also be placed behind the senior debt lenders 1st charge.
