Development Finance

Funding for new builds, conversions and major refurbishment projects

What is Development Finance?

Development finance provides funding for property development projects, including new builds, conversions, and major refurbishment works. We support clients in accessing development funding for a range of projects, helping to structure facilities that align with project costs, timescales, and exit strategies. This enables developers and investors to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Funding Property Projects in Stages

Development finance is typically released in stages throughout the lifecycle of a project, rather than as a single lump sum upfront. An initial advance is often provided to support the site purchase or early works, with further funds drawn down as the development progresses and key milestones are achieved. This structure helps align the funding with build costs, project timings, and the overall delivery plan.

Because this type of finance is designed around the development itself, lenders will also assess factors such as project viability, experience, costs, and the intended exit strategy, whether that is sale, refinance, or long-term retention. When structured properly, development finance gives developers access to the capital needed to move a project forward in a controlled and commercially effective way.
