Capital Advisory
Real Estate Debt &
Capital Solutions
Granya Capital works with developers, investors and property owners seeking appropriately structured capital for UK real estate transactions. We assess the asset, business plan, security position, development programme and capital requirement before approaching relevant debt and capital providers on a targeted basis. Requirements may include acquisition finance, senior debt, development finance, bridge or transitional capital, preferred equity, joint-venture equity and other structured capital solutions, subject to the nature of the transaction and applicable regulatory restrictions.
About Granya Capital Advisory
A specialised firm in discreet, private and confidential transactions.
Unlike other advisory firms, we do not publicly disclose our opportunities. Our business operates on a strictly private and confidential basis. Opportunities are presented only to parties with whom we have an established relationship or who have been formally introduced.
Granya Capital Advisory works closely with BTR, PBSA and Hospitality developers and asset owners from inception through to execution, advising on capital structure, counterparty identification and transaction management.
Senior Debt & Capital Partners
We work with senior credit and debt providers, specialist stretched-senior lenders and structured capital partners across every sector we cover.
Confidential Process
Opportunities are never publicly marketed. We operate on a need-to-know basis, protecting the interests of all parties throughout the transaction lifecycle.
Institutional Network
Direct relationships with institutional fund managers, family office principals and developer boards — not intermediaries.
The Full Capital Stack
Every Layer, Structured & Introduced.
Senior Debt
Investment and development senior facilities from clearing banks, challenger banks and debt funds, sized against the asset and business plan.
Stretched Senior
Enhanced-leverage senior facilities for sponsors requiring gearing beyond a conventional senior line, without introducing a second lender into the structure.
Bridge & Acquisition Finance
Short-term bridging and acquisition facilities to secure a site or asset at pace, ahead of longer-term senior debt or a full development finance package.
Development Finance
Funding structured specifically around a development programme, from site purchase through to practical completion and stabilisation.
Mezzanine Debt
Subordinated debt layered behind senior facilities to bridge a funding gap, structured with lenders comfortable operating behind a senior charge.
Structured Capital
Structured capital ranking ahead of sponsor capital with a defined return profile, used to reduce a sponsor's sponsor capital requirement without diluting control.
Sponsor Capital
Institutional, private equity and family office capital taken alongside the sponsor on a pari-passu or promote-structured basis.
JV Capital
Development and investment JV structuring between sponsors and capital partners, with commercial and governance terms aligned to both parties.
Refinancing & Recapitalisation
Proactive refinancing ahead of loan maturity or business plan milestones, and recapitalisation of existing capital structures to release equity or reset terms.
How We Structure A Requirement
From First Conversation To Completion.
Assess The Requirement
We start by understanding the asset, business plan and timeline in detail, so any capital solution we propose is genuinely suited to the transaction rather than a standard template.
Structure The Capital Stack
We identify where senior debt, mezzanine, preferred or sponsor capital best fits the requirement, and how each layer should be sized and sequenced.
Approach Suitable Partners
We approach a targeted, curated list of lenders and capital partners we know are active in the sector and likely to be well-matched — never a broad, untargeted marketing exercise.
Negotiate Terms
We support negotiation of commercial terms and heads of terms on our client's behalf, drawing on our understanding of what each counterparty will and will not move on.
Support Execution
We remain engaged through due diligence, documentation and legal completion, coordinating between client, counterparty and professional advisers to keep the transaction on track.
Additional Capabilities
Investment Advisory & Structured Capital Solutions
Beyond individual debt and capital introductions, we advise investors, developers and asset owners on how a capital structure should be built as a whole — sizing and sequencing senior debt, mezzanine, preferred and sponsor capital so each layer supports the business plan rather than working against it.
Where a requirement is structurally complex — a mixed capital stack, a phased drawdown, or a position that needs to be restructured mid-transaction — we design and introduce a bespoke solution rather than fitting the requirement to a standard product.

What Sets Us Apart
Complex Structures & Lower Capital Requirements
Granya Capital Advisory is known within its network for taking on situations that fall outside a conventional advisory brief, applying the same discipline whatever the scale of the requirement — strictly as an advisory and introduction service, never as an investment adviser.
Complex Capital Structures
We are comfortable structuring and introducing multi-tranche arrangements — senior, mezzanine, structured capital and forward funding combined within a single capital stack — where a straightforward, single-lender approach does not fit the transaction.
Lower Capital Requirements, Institutional Discipline
Alongside large institutional mandates, we support sponsors and developers with more modest capital requirements who still need an institutional-quality introduction process, careful structuring and a credible counterparty network.
Bespoke, Situation-Led Structuring
Every transaction is assessed on its own facts. Where a scheme, sponsor or timeline sits outside the norm, we draw on our cross-sector relationships to shape an introduction and structure suited to that specific situation.
Confidential Enquiries
If you represent an institutional fund, family office, or are a developer or asset owner seeking a capital advisory introduction, we welcome a discreet initial conversation.
