Development Finance

Development finance packaging

Funding support for property development projects, land, conversions and refurbishment schemes from initial appraisal through to a lender-ready case presentation.

Development projects

Funding for land, builds, conversions and refurbishment

Development finance is designed for property projects where funds are usually needed to purchase land or property and then support build, conversion or refurbishment costs. It can be used for ground-up developments, permitted development schemes, residential conversions, mixed-use projects and larger refurbishment opportunities.

Lenders will look closely at the project numbers, planning position, borrower contribution, build costs, professional team, experience and exit strategy. A strong development finance proposal needs to show that the deal works before, during and after the build.

Where development finance fits

Ground-up development

For new-build schemes where funding is needed for land, construction costs and staged drawdowns as the project progresses.

Conversions

For changing the use or layout of a property, such as commercial-to-residential or larger residential reconfiguration projects.

Heavy refurbishment

For projects that need meaningful works before the property can be sold, let or refinanced onto a longer-term facility.

Land and planning-led projects

For opportunities where the planning status, site value and proposed exit need to be clearly understood by funders.

How we can help

Property Funding Group UK helps developers and investors shape their enquiry before it reaches a lender. We can help review the deal structure, required loan amount, borrower contribution, build costs, contingency, gross development value, professional team and exit route.

We also help identify suitable lender appetite, whether the project needs senior development finance, bridging finance, private lending, equity support or a more bespoke funding route. The aim is to present the project in a way that is clear, realistic and aligned with what funders need to see.
