Mitty Group to develop two new Merseyside residential areas

Securing £1,982,000 worth of funding from Assetz Capital, Liverpool’s Mitty Group has announced it will develop two new residential and leisure sites in Merseyside.

The growing property developer, established in 2013, specialises in refurbishing and restoring listed buildings.

The business, which has contributed to much of the regeneration at Liverpool’s Georgian quarter, secured a £942k loan from Assetz Capital to fund its Regency Court Development in the Old Swan area of Liverpool.

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

The company 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.

“We’re very excited about working with Assetz. It’s my first experience of P2P finance which came highly recommended. You get a much more personal service than dealing with the banks and it helps massively that the decision makers are only a call away.”

Mark Davidson, Regional Relationship Director at Assetz Capital, added: “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.”
