Hotel finance structures for Market Harborough hotels
We arrange the full range of hotel finance for Market Harborough operators and buyers. Acquisition finance funds the purchase of a trading hotel, indicatively to 65 to 70 percent of value over a 15 to 25 year term, with the loan sized on the hotel's stabilised trading profit. Development and conversion finance funds a ground-up build or a change of use, usually to around 60 to 65 percent of cost. Bridging moves at auction or completion pace. Stabilisation finance carries a hotel through the ramp to mature trade. Term loans refinance onto long-term debt, lower a rate or raise capital, and sale-and-leaseback or mezzanine release or top up capital against the freehold. We match each case to the lenders that back this kind of hotel across Leicestershire.
