Developer secures £2m in funding to bring forward Merseyside schemes

Liverpool-based property developer Mitty Group has secured almost £2m in funding from Assetz Capital to develop two residential and leisure sites in Merseyside.

Established in 2013, Mitty Group is one of Liverpool’s fastest growing property development and investment companies, which specialises in refurbishing and restoring listed buildings.

The company has invested significantly in the Merseyside area and helped with the regeneration of Liverpool’s Georgian quarter.

The developer secured a £942,000 loan from Assetz Capital to fund its Regency Court Development in the Old Swan area of Liverpool.

The funding will allow Mitty Group to transform Victorian town houses and former function suites into a block of 16 apartments. It is expected to complete by September 2018.

Mitty Group has also secured a £1,040,000 loan to fund its Burscough Street Development in Ormskirk town centre. The finance will be used to restore a 350-year-old Grade II listed pub and transform a former barn into a 15-bed student accommodation block with restaurant space on the ground floor. The development will be within close proximity of Edge Hill University.

Adam Mitty, managing director at Mitty Group, said: “As a business, we pride ourselves on restoring listed buildings to their former glory and the funding from Assetz has enabled us to get these two projects off the ground.”

Mark Davidson, regional relationship director at Assetz Capital, said: “We’re pleased to be working with Mitty Group as they have an excellent track record of developing sites in the Merseyside area. “We have a highly experienced property team here at Assetz Capital and are continually working with developers all across the UK to structure competitive funding that helps to get projects up and running in a short time frame.”
