Development finance is a specialized form of lending designed specifically for property development projects. Unlike traditional mortgages, development finance is structured to release funds in stages as your project progresses.

What Is Development Finance?

Development finance provides the capital needed to purchase land, cover construction costs, and fund all aspects of a development project. Lenders typically advance funds based on the Gross Development Value (GDV) of the completed project.

Types of Development Finance

Senior Debt: The primary loan, typically covering 60-70% of costs. This is secured against the property and has first charge.

Mezzanine Finance: Additional funding that sits between senior debt and equity, allowing developers to reduce their cash contribution.

Bridging Loans: Short-term finance useful for quick purchases or while arranging longer-term funding.

What Lenders Look For

Lenders assess applications based on the viability of the project, the developer's experience, the location, and the projected profit margin. A well-prepared proposal with detailed costings and realistic timelines is essential.
