How it works
One desk, nine markets, the same stack
The structures this site arranges, joint venture development finance, development equity, mezzanine and stretch senior, work the same way in every market: the capital stack is national, but appetite is local. A funding partner who writes £1m equity cheques into Manchester city-centre schemes will not automatically follow a developer to a market they cannot price. The city pages exist to match schemes to the partners who already deploy there.
Each city also has a dedicated senior-debt desk within the Construction Capital portfolio, which means the development finance layer and the equity layer of a scheme in these markets are structured by teams that already work together.
Frequently asked questions
Do you fund property development joint ventures outside these cities?
Yes. The desk works UK-wide, and the homepage and service pages describe the national offer. These city pages exist because the named cities carry the deepest development activity and the strongest funding partner appetite; a scheme in any UK town with a viable appraisal and planning gets the same structuring service.
Does the city change what JV terms a developer gets?
It changes appetite more than structure. Priority returns of 8 to 12 percent per annum and profit splits from 35 to 60 percent apply nationally as of June 2026, but funding partners concentrate cheque flow on cities where exit liquidity is proven, which is exactly why these nine markets have dedicated pages. Weaker-liquidity locations need stronger profit on cost to clear the same bar.
Can you also arrange the senior debt in these cities?
Yes, and usually as one negotiation with the equity. The Construction Capital portfolio runs dedicated development finance desks for each of these cities, and we structure the senior facility, any mezzanine and the JV equity together so the intercreditor terms are agreed before lawyers are instructed.
