Development Finance

Empowering Your Property Dreams, One Investment at a Time

Property development is a complex process, but securing development finance does not have to be. Whether you are a property developer, investor, or landlord, there are various finance options available to help you get your next project off the ground.

For light to heavy refurbs, you can access a ‘refurbishment bridge’, which provides finance for 3-24 months of building costs, and may also offer the option to convert into a mortgage down the line. Ground-up developments often require more extensive finance, as they involve both land purchase and construction costs. In such cases, lenders may offer finance for up to 50% of the plot purchase and 75% of the build costs. This means that the developer may only need a fraction of their own money, instead of the full amount, to cover the land purchase and property construction.

Interest can be rolled or paid monthly, and repayment dates can be tailored to suit sales timelines. Most exit fees are calculated on the borrowed amount, not the GDV (Gross Development Value).

This is my first experience with getting a mortgage, but Rob explained everything clearly, answering all my questions, and helped me get the best mortgage for me. Louis also helped by keeping me updated with the progress of the application and chasing the lender on my behalf. Overall, a positive experience.

My request to renew my existing mortgage with Mortgage Decisions was superbly handled by David who is a most knowledgeable person. I was impressed with his professionalism and his attention to detail. The end to end process was explained throughout by David in particular the various options available to me. This is the second time that Mortgage Decisions have assisted with my mortgage and I wouldn’t hesitate in asking them again in the future.
