Development Finance Lenders

The best finance rates for development funding are commonly reserved for experienced property developers: to access the best deals lenders will require evidence of a proven track record of successful projects. There are lenders we work with who are happy to provide property finance to new or first time developers if your project satisfies their criteria, which might include: 

Gross development value (GDV)

The estimated open-market value of your finished property or development is a key metric in development finance (along with development experience and your personal financial situation).

Most development finance lenders are comfortable with granting development loans up to 65% of the GDV, if they are comfortable with the project plans and financial projections. Some lenders will go higher than this project dependent.

Up to 100% of the development finance costs

If you require funding to buy land and then the development costs, dependent on the project lenders will want you to put in 30% of the acquisition cost. The balance & 100% of the building costs can be funded on the basis that overall funding does not exceed 65% of the GDV. For the right projects additional mezzanine finance can be sourced up to 90% of GDV.

A number of lenders in the development finance market are prepared to provide the entire funding for the purchase of property/land plus development costs to borrowers who qualify for development finance.

If the cost of servicing a 100% loan is not an issue this can be an extremely useful scale of funding for your project, allowing you to invest in other projects at the same time.

How can we help source your development finance from a bank? 

Why use a specialist finance broker? At Clifton Private Finance, our strong relationships with private banks, specialist lenders, family offices and wealth managers, means that we can look at the widest range of funding available to find the best finance solution for your development.

With offices in Bristol and Cardiff we are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
