Development Finance

£50,000 – £100 million – 1 to 48 months.

Development Finance for property is funding provided by lenders, which is utilised by developers to finance new building or building renovation projects. Usually it is secured against the land or property that is being newly developed or refurbished via a first legal charge, and sometimes in conjunction with a 2nd charge known as mezzanine finance.

This is now often also used to provide higher leverage/gearing finance lending, which can be geared/leveraged up to 90% of the total costs of the project. Normally there would be a loan to aid the purchase of a project or development site, with build finance costs being drawn in arrears.

Stretch Senior Development Finance
Stretched senior development finance facilitates much higher leverage than traditional senior lenders. This allows developers to spread their equity across more than one scheme, offering improved cash flow to their businesses. It is a first charged debt that provides property developers with high loan to value funding for property development and refurbishment schemes.
