What is a development loan?

A development loan is a short-term loan that is designed to give you the funding you need to build or renovate a property until it is suitable for a standard mortgage.

What can you use a development loan for?

You can use a development loan for almost anything it takes to get the property or land into a state that you can get a mortgage on it. That means the purchase of a site, any construction costs or the cost of surveyors, architects, etc…

How much can I borrow with a development loan?

With a development loan, you can borrow between £10,000 and £100 million. The exact amount you can borrow will depend on something called GDV. GDV stands for Gross Development Value and is used to estimate the value of the property once all work is completed. As a rule of thumb, most lenders only lend up to 70% of the GDV.

However, some lenders will go to 95% or even 100% depending on the circumstances or if there is additional security in place. If you need to borrow more than 70% of the GDV, get in touch and we’ll speak with the lenders on your behalf.

Do I need to have a deposit for a development loan?

You would not generally need a deposit as the lender typically uses your property as collateral for the development loan application.

Which type of development loan is best for me?

To find the right kind of development loan for your project, get in touch and we’ll have a quick chat about what you’re looking for and what you’re planning. Once we’ve got a better idea of your plans, we’ll be able to give you expert advice on the right development loan for you.

How is the development loan repaid?

You can repay your loan at any time during the term and most lenders won’t charge a penalty for early repayment. However, typically, development loans are paid off when traditional borrowing can be secured or the property is sold.

What are the consequences of failing to repay?

If you find you unexpectedly have issues with repaying the development loan, the development lender will either agree to extend the loan term or repossess the property or land.
