The Construction & Capital Podcast

UK property development, decoded. The Construction Capital podcast is the market intelligence show for developers, investors, and brokers operating in UK real estate. Each episode takes a specific market or finance topic and breaks it down using proprietary transaction data, live regeneration pipelines, and the real-world lender dynamics that determine which schemes get funded and which ones don't.

Hosted by Georgina and published by Construction Capital, an independent capital advisory brokerage sourcing terms from over 100 lenders across development finance, bridging, mezzanine, and equity.

Regional market reports covering the UK's top development locations, from Greater London and the Home Counties through the Midlands, the North, Scotland, and Wales. Each regional episode works through median prices, transaction volumes, new-build premiums, the towns driving growth, and the schemes reshaping the local pipeline. We use data from HM Land Registry, the ONS House Price Index, live planning portals, and our own deal flow to build a picture of where capital is actually being deployed.

Finance deep dives on the structures that developers actually use. Senior debt sizing and LTGDV benchmarks. Mezzanine finance and how to stretch the capital stack to 85 to 90 percent of costs. Bridging loans for auction and time-sensitive acquisitions. Development exit finance to replace expiring facilities. Equity and JV partnerships. Each topic covered the way Construction Capital covers it on live client transactions.

Deal breakdowns drawn from current market activity. How lenders are pricing risk in a softer pricing environment. What valuation evidence holds up and what doesn't. Which scheme types are attracting competitive terms and which are struggling. The practical detail that shapes whether a deal closes on the terms you expected.

Macro context and policy updates covering the issues that move development markets. NPPF planning reform. Interest rate cycles and their impact on development finance pricing. Regional growth strategies and the government funding following them. New Towns designations, Mayoral Development Zones, and the infrastructure pipeline shaping land values for the next decade.

Property developers building ground-up residential and mixed-use schemes, whether on your first project or your fiftieth. Investors deploying capital into UK real estate, either directly or through JV structures. Brokers and advisors who want to sharpen their market intelligence. Professional service firms, planners, architects, and consultants who want to understand where development finance is flowing. Anyone who wants the data and the finance detail without the marketing fluff.

Most UK property podcasts either cover the residential owner-occupier market, which has limited relevance to developers, or they're thinly disguised sales pitches for a single lender, fund, or sourcing service. The Construction Capital podcast is different. We're a brokerage with no lender bias, no fund to sell, and no sourcing product to upsell. Our business model is indicative terms from over 100 lenders within 24 hours, which means our incentive is to understand the market properly and match schemes to the right capital.

The show reflects that. Every episode is built around what's actually useful for someone making a live capital decision.
