Property Development Finance For Architects

Property Development Finance For Architects

Clifton private finance

We specialise in raising development finance on residential and commercial property transactions in the UK

We can help architects get the right finance for UK residential and commercial projects.
As an architect you may have experience managing client build projects from concept to completion, but when it comes to raising finance for your own project you may come up against problems in raising finance at competitive rates.
 
Lenders will often take the view that as you have not risked your "own money" on a previous project you will only qualify for "first time developer" rates. The difference in cost between first and experienced property development finance can be significant.
 
The good news is that if you are prepared to use an experienced contractor to build the project out we can in many cases help architect clients get low cost funding.
 
  • Development finance from £500,000 to £25m
  • Lending up to 85% loan to cost (LTC) or a maximum of 60% gross development value (GDV)
  • Funding for new build, refurbishments, mixed use and purpose built student accommodation
  • Finance options for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (We can also source finance for projects in Ireland)
  • Finance with no exit or early redemption fees
  • Terms up to 30 months
  • Complex cases always considered
  • Finance for a variety of ownership structures including multiple SPV's, Offshore SPV's, UK based trust structures, overseas trust structures
