Specialist, not generalist
Liverpool Development Finance is part of the Construction Capital network. We focus on one product area — development finance for UK property developers — and one city-region: Liverpool and the wider Liverpool City Region footprint (Liverpool, Sefton, Wirral, Knowsley, St Helens). We don’t do residential mortgages, car finance, business loans, or anything else. That focus is deliberate. Development finance is complex, market-sensitive, and relationship-driven; we’d rather be excellent at one thing than mediocre at many.
The founder’s background is corporate banking — a 25-year career on the lender side of property finance, including senior roles at high-street and specialist banks. That institutional experience underpins how we structure and present schemes to lenders: we know what credit committees need to see, what triggers a decline, and where there’s genuine flexibility in lender policy versus where there isn’t.
Across that career we’ve arranged in excess of £500M of facilities across senior, stretch senior, mezzanine, JV equity, and exit products. Deal sizes from £500K to £20M+, across every mainstream scheme type: residential new-build, PBSA, BTR, heritage conversion, mixed-use, and permitted-development. See our case studies for examples.
How we work
Specialist focus
Development finance is all we do. No cross-selling, no loss-leader products — just deep expertise in one market.
Lender‑side perspective
We package applications the way credit committees want to see them. Fewer decline surprises, faster credit approval, better terms.
Liverpool market depth
We know the Liverpool-active lender desks personally, the comparable evidence the valuers rely on, and the local planning policy nuances across Liverpool, Sefton, Wirral and Knowsley.
Straight answers
If your scheme doesn’t work, we’ll tell you why — and what would need to change for it to fund. We don’t waste time on lost causes.
End‑to‑end execution
From scheme appraisal through credit approval, legals, valuation and drawdown coordination — we manage the full workstream.
Long‑term relationships
Most clients work with us across multiple schemes. We build your lender relationships alongside ours, which compounds over time.
Why a specialist Liverpool broker
The Liverpool development market has genuine regional nuance — Liverpool City Council planning policy, the Liverpool Waters Strategic Regeneration Framework, the Wirral Local Plan and Wirral Waters delivery framework, Article 4 directions across the central core (L1, L7, L8) covering HMO conversion, the Stanley Dock and Ropewalks conservation areas, and an active group of North West-engaged specialist lenders (Paragon Bank, Together Money, United Trust Bank, Hampshire Trust Bank Manchester / Liverpool desks). National brokers don’t engage with this detail. We do. Liverpool Development Finance is a trading name of Lenzie Consulting Ltd (registered in England and Wales, company number 08174104).
