Build the funding around delivery

What makes a strong property development finance proposal?

Development finance is closely linked to the property and the work being carried out. A strong proposal explains the starting position, what will be delivered, who will deliver it and how the funding will be repaid.

The site

Set out the purchase, planning position, current condition and intended scheme.

The programme

Bring together the works, team, costs, timing and a realistic contingency.

The exit

Evidence a credible sale or refinance route using sensible end-value assumptions.

Development finance is specialist lending and is subject to lender criteria. Costs, values and timescales can change. Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a loan secured on it.
