All about Property Development Funding in the UK

 

Property Development Funding is a type of finance offered to property developers used to fund the refurbishment or development of new build properties, this type of finance is offered to property developers by financial institutions such as banks and private companies who offer finance using investors money to offer a better return than they would get on deposit, basically they pool money from private investors and then use the capital to fund property developments offering a far greater return, these private lenders can offer more attractive terms a higher loan to value and generally a better more flexible service, whereas a bank is ticking boxes private lenders can take a far more relaxed view on the projects they are looking to offer to fund on.

 

Each lender has their own particular preferences it could be different locations in the country based on where they are located as they know the market well regarding what sells well or types of property that they like to lend on this could executive properties, family housing or even commercial development with a mix of residential thrown in, most through prefer to offer funding on residential developments as they a confident that buyers can be found for the finished properties, if you have a commercial scheme you will have to demonstrate that you have a buyer firmly in place or at the very least a lease agreement for at least 10 years from a strong covenant, this will allow the property to be sold on as an investment, lenders do not like to lend on commercial property that is vacant.
