We arrange build to rent finance across South Yorkshire, from ground-up development finance and forward funding through development exit and bridging to stabilised investment and term debt. We work with developers, housebuilders, operators and investors, matching each rental scheme to the lenders and institutional funders that back the scheme type.
South Yorkshire sits in the Yorkshire and the Humber build to rent market. Leeds and Sheffield anchor an active regional BTR market with a substantial multifamily pipeline. Choose a town below for its regional BTR market data and local residential pipeline, or talk to us about a scheme anywhere in the county.
Finance
The finance we arrange in South Yorkshire
The structures we use across the build to rent lifecycle, alone or together.
BTR development finance
The senior debt that funds the construction of a ground-up rental scheme, sized on cost, gross development value and the income the finished homes will produce. We arrange and place the funding with the lenders that back build-to-rent.
Forward funding
The institutional structure where an investor funds the land and the construction up front and acquires the completed scheme, paying the developer a land payment, a funded build and a profit on cost, in exchange for development-risk pricing and a keener entry yield.
Forward commitment
The structure where an institutional investor agrees to buy a build-to-rent scheme on practical completion at a fixed price and yield, but does not fund the construction, so the developer funds the build and takes the development risk in exchange for keeping more of the upside.
BTR investment finance
The long-term debt that holds a stabilised, income-producing build-to-rent asset, sized on the net operating income the rent roll produces and the cover that income gives the debt service. We arrange and place the funding.
BTR bridging finance
Short-term debt to acquire a build-to-rent site, assemble title or hold a scheme through planning, exiting onto development finance once consent is in place. We arrange and place the loan against a clear, credible exit.
Development exit finance
A cheaper term facility taken at or after practical completion to repay development finance and reduce cost while the scheme leases up and stabilises, sized on the finished asset and the lease-up rather than the construction.
BTR mezzanine and equity
Subordinated debt or equity that sits behind the senior facility to stretch leverage toward 80 to 90 percent of cost, preserving the developer's own equity in exchange for a higher coupon that reflects the junior position.
Single family housing finance
Funding for suburban houses built to rent, whole streets and estates let to families, often delivered in phases. Single family housing overtook apartments on build-to-rent investment in 2025, and we arrange the development and investment debt behind it.
Co-living finance
Funding for co-living schemes, compact private studios with extensive shared amenity, operationally intensive and sized on the net operating income the scheme produces. We arrange the development and investment debt.
BTR refinance
Replacing development or bridging debt with longer-term investment debt once a scheme is built and stabilising, to release equity and lower the cost of the borrowing. We arrange and place the refinance.
