Why Choose Development Finance?

1. Funding in Stages
   Development finance is typically released in stages, aligned with the completion of key project phases. This approach reduces upfront costs and ensures funds are available exactly when you need them, helping to keep your cash flow steady and manageable.
2. Flexible Loan Terms
   Each development project is unique, and we offer customised repayment schedules, terms, and conditions to suit the specific demands of your project. This flexibility allows you to focus on completing the development without being constrained by rigid financial terms.
3. Access to Expertise
   When you work with us, you gain access to funding and a team that understands property development. Our experienced advisors are here to support your vision, streamline financing, and guide you through each financial decision, so you can move forward with confidence.

How Does Development Finance Work?

Development finance is structured to match the stages of a property project, from acquisition to completion. Here’s how the process typically unfolds:

1. Initial Assessment
   We work with you to understand the scope, timeline, and financial needs of your development project. During this stage, we evaluate the potential of the project and determine the best structure for financing.
2. Funding Approval & Drawdown Stages
   Once approved, funds are allocated in stages—usually at land purchase, groundwork, construction, and finishing phases. Each drawdown stage provides the resources needed to complete the next phase, ensuring continuous project momentum.
3. Monitoring & Support
   Throughout the project, we provide ongoing support and guidance. Our team checks in at each stage, helping you stay on track and adjust plans if necessary.
4. Repayment
   Repayment terms are flexible and typically structured around the sale or refinancing of the completed project, allowing you to repay at a time that suits your business.

• Property Conversions: Transforming non-residential properties (like warehouses or offices) into residential spaces.
