What is Development Finance?
If you're new to development finance, here’s a concise explanation of what it is and how it can support your project.
Development finance is a short-term funding solution, typically lasting between 6-24 months. It's specifically designed to cover the purchase and build costs associated with residential or commercial development projects. This can include new builds, conversions, or refurbishments, whether for a single unit or multiple units developed across various phases.
How Does Development Finance Work?
Here’s a brief overview:
Site Purchase:
The first part of the loan assists with purchasing the development site. This could be land for new construction or an existing property set for refurbishment.
Build Costs:
The second part covers the costs of the build. Funds are typically released in stages as the project progresses, often monthly, based on completed work.
Flexible Use:
Development finance can be used for a range of projects, from single-unit refurbishments to multi-phase new builds.
Short-Term Solution:
With terms generally between 6-24 months, development finance provides the necessary capital to get your project off the ground and moving forward.
