How long can I have Development Finance for?    

Usually no more that 12-18 months but it depends on the project.

Do I have to service interest monthly or is it rolled up?    

It is almost always rolled up to the end of the projection order to protect your cash flow while the development is ongoing.

Do I need to have experience in property development in order to get finance?    

In all likelihood yes. Most lenders are reluctant to lend if it’s your first project but if you can show relevant skills in your team (e.g. Quantitiy Surveyors, Architects, Project managers etc.) then you will probably qualify.

Yes, in most cases you will need at least Outline Planning permission before borrowing unless you are a very experienced developer and it is a strong project.

It is difficult to out a set rate on property finance. that’s where we, the broker, come in. By having access to many different lenses we can seek to find you the best rate from the most reputable lender. Typically these rates will start at BBR + 4.5%

What are the fees to arrange the finance?    

If you decide to arrange your finance through us, you will be charged a broker fee of 0.5-1%. Additionally it is customary in the market that you pay the lender’s legal and valuation fees. The lender may also charge an arrangement fee but this varies.

How to secure the best development finance

We only work with a panel of reputable lenders to find the best rates available. As experienced developers know, the best option is always to go with the most reliable lender rather than the lowest rate. They will be more flexible when timelines are stretched and will have funds available promptly when you need them most. Matching your individual project funding requirements with the right lender is one of our core services.
