Securing the right property development finance

No two property development projects are the same, and each needs a finance solution that aligns with its particular challenges and end goals. Your requirements will depend on whether your project involves ground-up development, heavy refurbishment or renovation, and there are a multitude of finance options available. You might need a short-term bridging loan to cover your building costs for a year, or you may want the option to convert to a mortgage as the project progresses. If you are looking to purchase shops, offices or warehouses, you could benefit from a commercial mortgage. While it may be possible to secure 100% of the finance using additional security, you will need to be able to demonstrate that you meet certain criteria. These details make all the difference, and this is where our expert development finance lawyers can help you find an option that is suited to your needs.
