PROPERTY: Mezzanine Finance Explained + March Market Update - With Marc Champ of Wharf Financial

In this episode, Rob sits down with Marc Champ from Wharf Financial for their monthly property market and financing roundup. During the episode, they dive deep into the subject of mezzanine finance. Plus, as usual, they discuss the current state of the property market and what is likely to happen in the next few months. In this episode, they discuss the impact the invasion of Ukraine, combined with inflation and the threat of rate rises is likely to have   KEY TAKEAWAYS Property conferences and festivals are excellent places to network, meet new lenders and learn about new opportunities. Increases in energy costs are fuelling further material cost hikes. The cost of living and energy price rises may delay mortgage rate rises. Some in the industry are experiencing more down valuations. Why this is happening is discussed during the episode. Mezzanine finance is not an exotic or complicated financing option. When used correctly, mezz financing is a powerful and effective tool. The mezz just sits behind your normal lender and provides a little top-up. Not all primary lenders will work with mezzanine financiers. When using mezz financing make sure you have enough assets and funds available to cope with any fluctuations.   BEST MOMENTS ‘To increase people's mortgage payments would be a double whammy, so I think it’ll be held back a little.’ ‘The market was so hit last year, after the stamp duty holiday, that it's got to relax a little bit.’ ‘People think of mezz finance as an exotic product, and it isn´t.’ ‘Have enough assets and funds in the background to cope with any fluctuations. These can happen pretty quickly.’   ABOUT THE HOST  Rob Smallbone, the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.
