At LEXI, our market know-how and lender knowledge set us apart. We are intimately tapped into both conventional and non-conventional funding sources and can react quickly to any changes in the lending landscape. The greatest range of real estate lenders sit in the senior debt space, funding development and investment opportunities across all real estate assets.
We work with over financiers in the senior debt space, including high-street banks, challenger banks, boutique lenders, private equity houses, pension funds, forward funders, council allocations and insurance companies. LEXI work with short term finance providers in instances where a client requires speed, flexibility or time.
LEXI has access to the key lenders in this space, as well as a range of alternative funders, including high net worth individuals, private funds and boutique lenders. Junior lenders will price their increased risk accordingly; however, mezzanine finance can be an invaluable resource when deploying sponsor equity across a range of projects.
The mezzanine market is predominantly funded by high-net-worth individuals operating through funds to deliver a return on their equity. They understand the risk adjusted return of second charge lending and can reach higher leverage than senior debt on the same assets. Typically, an investor is paid after all other lenders are repaid and in return will take a share of the profits. This means an investor is interested in the individuals running the project as much as the underlying asset.
LEXI work with a range of equity partners, from specialist situation funds to sophisticated investors, looking to deploy equity in the real estate space. For experienced sponsors looking to scale their business, a relationship equity partner can facilitate growth like no other means.
