Property Development finance
In recent years, the commercial property market has begun to see a growth in property development finance requests – these short-term loans can often help individuals and property developers in need of cash flow help.
Overview
As the name suggests, property development finance is a financial loan provided to an individual or business to develop or redevelop property. For example, building an extension on a residential property or creating new office space within a commercial property. It can help you turn a development project into a dream home or profitable investment.
Although large loans are available, some up to £100 million, property development loans are segmented into phases and drawn down as the project progresses.
Lenders offering property development finance want to ensure that the money will be paid back in full and on time, therefore it’s important that an exit strategy is in place. For example, this may be the sale of the property which is a common solution we see from our clients. Make sure you have thought about this in advance – lenders will always ask!

Faqs
Depending on the project, there are many types of development finance available. They’re suitable for:
In some instances, development finance can also be used in the early stages of the project. For example, to finance the land/site purchase and also the build costs.
While it’s no surprise lenders may be more inclined to provide competitive loans to experienced property developers, it’s not always the case. There are a number of alternative lenders in the market who will consider first time developers. However, regardless of your experience, here are two top tips that we think are well received by lenders:
Contact our team of property development brokers if you’re unsure about whether you would qualify for development finance. Our specialist team are on hand to talk through your project and may be able to suggest alternative finance if required.
Property development finance terms are the pre-agreed length of time the loan is secured for. The term of the loan is determined by the time to build and exit the finance. Typically, the term is up to 24 months but for larger, more complex projects, 36 months may be appropriate.
For the loans themselves, they are often arranged on a monthly interest only basis which is paid in full at the end of the term. Sometimes the lender will require the loan to be serviced upon execution of the exit strategy, however this is less common.
Typical interest rates for property development finance are very broad. The overall stack of finance can vary significantly and is determined by the project itself, namely the size and type.
However, in order to achieve the most suitable rate for your project it’s important to discuss your options with a member of our specialist development team. As experienced advisers in property development finance, our team are on hand to suggest which lenders may present you with the most relevant terms.
