Residential Development Finance
We structure residential development finance to assist with the acquisition or refinance of buildings or sites and their development to provide residential units for sale or letting.
We can assist strong developers who have the track record, development expertise, depth and breadth of organisation, and integrity to see a transaction through. We structure residential development finance to assist with the acquisition or refinance of buildings or sites and their development to provide residential units for sale or letting. This can include finance for the purchase of the site, construction costs, infrastructure and services, ancillary professional costs and the capitalisation of interest.
We can structure finance for all forms of residential development from conversions through to new build and everything in between. Although we prefer to structure finance that will see the scheme to fruition, we will consider structuring funding for phased developments if that is the most sensible approach to the project.
Loans are usually structured so that all the construction and associated costs are covered by the facility with the residue available towards the acquisition or refinance and interest cover. In this way, the borrowers’ stake is invested at the outset.

- Developers seeking 100% funding on attractive and competitive terms
- New enterprises – contractors moving into development or experienced individuals going it alone – looking to secure sites currently out of reach without further financial support
- Developers looking for highly geared funding to undertake larger or multiple schemes
