What Is Development Finance?

Development finance is short-term funding for building or converting property. It typically covers the land purchase and the build costs, released in stages as the project progresses, from a ground-up new build to a major conversion or refurbishment.

Lenders assess the project, the costs, the expected end value and your experience as a developer. As with bridging, there is a clear exit planned from the start, usually selling the finished scheme or refinancing onto a longer-term facility.
