Finance for Residential Property Developments in the South East
Development finance is a suitable funding option for private residential property developments. This can be a new build, a refurbishment or a conversion, ranging from a single unit through to multiple units built in phases.
Development finance can be released in stages to fund different elements of the project when it is needed. At the beginning, development finance is used to assist with the purchase of the development site. This could be to purchase the land where a number of new properties will be built, or to buy an existing property that will undergo a refurbishment or conversion. The second stage of the loan is used to pay for the build costs associated with the project. Funding for the building works will usually be released in drawn down stages, typically once every month.
No hidden costs: 0% brokers fees, zero upfront fees, no initial commitment.
