Investing in property development is one of the most exciting and profitable areas of investment in the UK, but it also requires significant funding. To complete a construction project or large-scale renovation, it's critical to have access to the right capital at the right time.

Our development finance services are available to businesses, investors, and property developers. Flexible financing solutions are available for residential, commercial, or mixed-use projects.

What Is Development Finance?

An investment loan designed specifically for property construction or refurbishment is called development finance. A development loan provides funding for ongoing construction rather than conventional mortgages, which are meant for completed properties.

At key stages of construction, funds are released against the property or land being developed. Repayment of the loan occurs when the property is sold or the loan is refinanced.

Benefits of Development Finance

  1. Stage-by-Stage Funding: Cash flow is assured by receiving funds in accordance with project milestones.
  2. Flexibility: Small renovations to large-scale developments can be funded with our customized loans.
  3. Leverage Opportunities: Work on projects that are outside your comfort zone.
  4. Speed of Access: Faster approval than traditional bank financing, enabling you to take advantage of time-sensitive opportunities.
  5. Value Growth: Improve your property or build new ones to unlock higher returns.

How Development Finance Works

Our process is straightforward and transparent:

  1. Initial Enquiry – Tell us about your project, including land, planning status, and build costs.
  2. Assessment – We evaluate the project's feasibility, costs, and return on investment.
  3. Agreement – Your project will receive a tailored finance package.
  4. Stage Payments – Payments are released in phases, usually after independent inspections of key construction stages.
  5. Exit Strategy – A loan is repaid upon the sale or refinancing of the development.
