Development Finance
Funding property development from acquisition through to completion
Property development requires careful financial planning. From purchasing the site and funding construction through to completing the project and repaying the development facility, the funding structure needs to work alongside the development programme.
BAT Financial Solutions can help developers explore potential development finance options for residential and commercial projects.
What can development finance be used for?
Development finance may potentially support:
- Site acquisitions
- Residential developments
- Commercial developments
- Conversions
- Refurbishment and redevelopment projects
- New-build schemes
- Smaller and larger development projects
- Construction and associated development costs
We look beyond the property
A development proposal is about more than the value of the finished property.
Lenders may consider:
- The purchase price or current site value
- Planning position
- Development costs
- Gross Development Value (GDV)
- Developer experience
- Proposed timescales
- Exit strategy
- Existing commitments
- Available equity or security
- The overall viability of the project
This is why we believe the funding structure should be considered early in the process.
Your experience matters
Whether you are an experienced developer or undertaking a new type of project, the background and experience of the people behind the development can be an important part of the funding assessment.
We will take the time to understand your experience, the project and your plans before considering potential funding routes.
