What is Property Development Finance and When Do I Need It?

Property development finance is a type of funding that is generally used for new large scale building projects or comprehensive renovations to an existing property. You would most likely be looking to secure this type of finance when embarking upon a large, mid to long-term project. In this way it differs from more basic refurbishment finance or bridge loans, though these are services which we are able to provide you with too.

Over What Kind of Time Frame Would I Need to Repay the Loan?

Property development finance is typically an interest free way of achieving a large, short-term capital boost. Depending on the amount of finance you receive at the outset, most loans are repaid within 6 to 18 months. The interest you pay back is normally factored into the total cost of the loan in order to avoid the need for any extra monthly payments.

Is Property Development Finance Accessible For My Project?

Due to the high levels of capital involved, property development finance is by no means easy to secure. Alongside our expertise in submitting applications, the property developer or landlord seeking such finance should have a prior history of successful developments and all relevant paperwork relating to the current project in excellent order.
