Development Finance

How does development finance work?

Development finance works by funds being advanced upfront initially as a short-term loan towards land purchase followed by draw-downs in staged payments for build works. Loans are calculated based on the predicted value of the property at completion with factors such as project type, developer experience, level of build cost, and equity taken into account.

It’s very important to consider development finance with a strategic mindset. By doing so, it can improve the financial status of your project, how each choice of a product influences the outcome, and help to define the structure of your case.
