Development

Development exit finance

Short-term finance that repays your development loan at or near completion, giving you time to sell or let units at the right price.

Development exit finance

More time to sell, often at a lower cost

Once a scheme reaches practical completion, the development loan may be approaching its term, and its pricing reflects build risk that no longer exists. Development exit finance refinances that loan, often at a lower rate, while units are marketed and sold.

It can also release some of the profit from the scheme to put towards your next project. We help present the completed scheme, sales progress and values so lenders can assess the case efficiently.

When development exit finance helps

Development loan maturing

The current facility is due for repayment before all units have sold.

Slower sales market

More time is needed to achieve the right prices.

Releasing equity

Capital is needed to start the next scheme.

Moving to rental

Units will be let and refinanced onto longer-term finance.

What lenders usually want to see

  • Practical completion: or a clear timescale to it, with sign-off certificates.
  • Unit values: valuation and sales evidence for the completed units.
  • Sales progress: reservations, exchanges and marketing strategy.
  • Existing debt: the amount needed to redeem the development lender.
  • Exit: sale of units or refinance onto term lending.
