Hotel Property Finance Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/hotel-property-finance Hotel Property Finance is the podcast for people who own, run, buy or invest in UK hotels and want to understand how the funding really works. Hosted by Georgina, each episode explains how lenders price and underwrite trading hotels, on RevPAR, ADR, occupancy, EBITDA and going-concern value, and how acquisition, development, refinance, bridging, turnaround and portfolio funding actually work. We cover the backdrop driving the sector: occupancy and RevPAR trends, the weight of investment capital and dry powder flowing into UK hotels, the refinancing-led shape of the market, and where distress is surfacing. We translate research-house data from JLL, Savills, CBRE, Knight Frank and STR / CoStar into what it actually means for a borrower sizing a loan. Every number is grounded in current sector research, and we never name individual lenders. Each episode finishes with the practitioner read and a twelve-month outlook for hotel finance borrowers.

In this launch episode of
Hotel Property Finance, host Georgina lays out a full 2026 market outlook on how UK hotels are funded, what the numbers look like right now, and what the market is telling owners, operators and investors.

We explain the single most important idea in hotel finance: a hotel is not just a building, it is a trading business that sits inside one, and
lenders fund both together. We cover the metrics that decide everything, RevPAR (revenue per available room), ADR, occupancy and EBITDA, and why hotels are valued on a going-concern basis that reflects the income the operation produces.

We then walk through the funding routes that actually move the sector:
- Acquisition finance for buying a trading hotel
- Development and refurbishment finance for building or upgrading
- Refinance and equity release, which dominates the 2026 market
- Bridging for auctions, chain-breaks and transitional situations
- Mezzanine to stretch leverage behind the senior lender
- Owner-operator and investor structures, including op-co / prop-co
- Group and portfolio finance for multi-hotel owners

We give the indicative 2026 numbers: senior term debt broadly 6.5 to 8.5 percent all in on 10 to 25 year terms, loan to value around 55 to 70
percent on a going-concern basis, development sized around 60 to 65 percent of cost and value, bridging around 0.85 to 1.25 percent a month,
mezzanine around 11 to 18 percent a year, and debt service cover often around 1.4 to 1.75 times.

We close on what is actually happening: a refinancing-led, selective market, with very large refinancings of landmark London hotels,
group-level refinancings of established collections, specialist lenders funding new branded budget and lifestyle hotels, and genuine distress at
the weaker end including a West End hotel guided above 275 million pounds.
