Hotel Finance in Wells

Funding a Wells hotel across its lifecycle

We arrange the full range of hotel finance for Wells 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 Somerset.

The hotel types we fund in Wells

Each kind of hotel is traded and underwritten differently, and we arrange finance for all of them in Wells and across Somerset. That covers budget and limited-service hotels, boutique and lifestyle hotels, luxury and full-service hotels, branded and franchise hotels under flags such as Premier Inn, Holiday Inn, Hilton and Marriott, independent hotels, guest houses and bed-and-breakfasts, serviced apartments and aparthotels, pubs with rooms and coaching inns, and resort and leisure hotels. A budget hotel turns on RevPAR and cost control. A luxury or resort hotel turns on rate, brand and the strength of the trade. Knowing which lender backs which type here, and at what leverage, is the work we do before a case ever reaches a credit committee.
