    How does Property Development Finance work?

    Whether you are an experienced developer with years of experience or are looking to complete your first scheme, we have access to a huge range of specialist lenders who understand and concentrate on the building development sector.

    Our experience of working with these lenders has allowed us to build up trusted working relationships with them and allow us to help source the funding to suit your specific requirements.

    Unlike traditional mortgage providers and traditional banking based solutions, lenders we work with base their lending criteria on both Loan to Cost (LTC) and Loan to Gross Development Value (GDV) which gives them more options to work with a customer. Find our more>>

    Usually the funding is up to a maximum of 75% Loan to Gross Development Value (GDV) or 90% Loan to Cost (LTC) which can be increased to 100% with additional security. Repayments can be on a varied schedule but can be extended up to a 24 month term.

    There is a stage drawdown against Quantity Surveyor or Architect certificate to ensure fairness and compliance.
