Find out more about Development Finance

Can I get finance for my first project?

Yes. There’s always a way that we can get a loan set up, so long as the proposed project makes sense.  First time developers may need to use a fixed price build contract, and/or use an experienced project manager to help; but it’s worth getting in touch to discus the best approach for your project.

How much can I borrow?

Traditional development finance will cover up to 90% of your total costs, and/or up to 70% of your ‘Gross Development Value’.  If you require more funding than this, then we do have profit share options available, whereby you could have all of your costs covered.

Can I do the work myself?

So long as you have experience of completing similar projects, then this won’t be an issue.  If it’s your first project, or if it’s an increase in project size then there will be some areas we may need to look at such as

Can I re-finance an existing loan?

Yes, whether you need to borrow more than originally planned on a project (using Mezzanine Finance), or if your current finance is coming to an end (Development Exit); we’ll be able to re-finance your project.

What costs are involved?

The upfront costs that should be budgeted for are typically a valuation report on the property/project, and for legal costs (for you and the lender).  Any other costs involved such as arrangement fees can be added to the loan so don’t need to be budgeted for up-front.

Can I apply to a lender direct?

Historically, your bank may have offered you a loan for property development.  In today’s climate, there are a variety of complex factors to consider when choosing the correct lender.  Although some lenders may accept direct applications, we’d suggest working with a broker who can choose the right lender for you.  You’ll be secure in the knowledge that you don’t run the risk of funding falling through, and that you’re getting the best deal.
