Why Belfast is a market we know
Belfast sits in a metropolitan core market. Prices are higher and competition is sharper, so deals move on speed and structure. Mixed-use stock, period conversions and prime office space dominate, and lenders pay close attention to covenant strength and exit clarity.

Belfast FAQs
Common questions about private finance in Belfast
Is private finance only for HNW individuals?+
Primarily — though the threshold varies by lender. Family offices may engage on the strength of the deal as much as the client's wealth.
How discreet is the process?+
Highly — we engage a small set of trusted contacts rather than running a broad market exercise. No public process, no advertised approach.
Can it complete quickly?+
Yes — private banks aren't always slow. With a clean brief and right introduction, 2–6 weeks is realistic. Bridging via private capital can be faster still.
Will I need to deposit AUM with a private bank?+
Often — relationship-led lending typically wants 25–100% of the loan as AUM, depending on the bank and the deal. Some specialist lenders don't.
What about second-charge private lending?+
Available for the right deal — typically against high-value residential security.
What loan sizes does private finance suit?+
Generally £250k upwards, with no real upper limit. The ratio of complexity to size matters more than size alone.
