Development finance is short-to-medium term funding for projects that create or significantly enhance property value — from ground-up residential and commercial builds to conversions and heavy refurbishments.
Facilities are typically drawn in stages against build progress, with interest often rolled up until exit. Lenders assess GDV, build costs, contingency, planning status, contractor experience and your exit strategy (sale or refinance).
We work with specialist development lenders across the market to structure terms that fit your site, timeline and experience — so you can focus on delivering the project with the right funding in place.

Ground-up residential or commercial builds, conversions (including to HMO or flats), and heavy refurbishments that materially change the property. Light cosmetic works are usually better suited to bridging or other products.
Most facilities release funds in stages against build progress, often after a monitoring surveyor confirms work completed. Day-one advances may cover site purchase or early costs depending on the lender and scheme.
Criteria vary. Some lenders welcome first-time developers with a strong professional team; others prefer a track record. We match your experience, contractor and scheme to lenders whose appetite fits.
Most facilities exit via sale of the completed units or refinance onto a longer-term mortgage or investment loan. A clear, realistic exit is essential for underwriting approval.
Typically planning documents, costings, cash flow, GDV appraisal, site details, experience CV and company accounts where relevant. We provide a tailored checklist for your project.
