Market liquidity comes at a significant premium due to this higher interest rate environment. Lenders have increased margins reflecting a liquidity risk premium and have scaled back leverage, creating a funding gap in the commercial real estate market.
Lenders are reducing leverage, and refinancing is becoming increasingly difficult for loan ticket sizes over £150m+ as the all-in cost of debt increases.
Finding the correct form of development financing can be challenging but is manageable. As we have found through our market engagements, a well-crafted pitch and a targeted financing process can unearth unexpected sources of competitive and flexible capital.
