What is development finance?
Development finance funds the acquisition and build costs of a property scheme, drawn in stages against monitoring surveyor certificates. Lenders typically fund up to 65% of GDV and 90% of build costs.
Underwriting is scheme-led: costed schedule of works, GDV backed by comparables, credible contractor and a track record for the developer.
We capture scheme type, land status, GDV and developer experience at enquiry so lenders can indicate quickly.
