Development finance explained

Development finance are specialised loans designed to fund the development of real estate projects, both residential and commercial. These loans cover the extensive cost of property development, from land acquisition to construction. 


Unlike traditional loans, property development finance is structured uniquely, where funds are released in stages based on project milestones, which helps manage cash flow efficiently and ensures that funds are available as the project progresses.


Here are some of the benefits you can expect from taking out development financing: 

  • Flexibility — Development finance can be tailored to meet specific project needs, allowing developers to plan and execute with certainty.
  • Cash flow management — Due to the unique nature of these loans, they allow for better budget and cash flow management.
  • Higher loan amounts — Property development finance often covers up to 70-80% of the total project cost, including land purchase and construction.

FAQs

  • What is development finance?

    Development finance, or property development finance, is a type of funding used to financially support property development projects, such as residential, commercial or mixed-use buildings. It typically covers costs like purchasing land and construction expenses. 


    This type of financing is usually structured as a short-term loan, often interest-only, with funds released in stages corresponding to different phases of the project. The loan is also typically secured against the property being developed.


  • How does development finance work?

    Development finance works by providing staged funding for property development projects. Initially, the borrower secures the loan against the land or project site. Funds are then disbursed in tranches, aligning with various construction milestones. Interest is typically charged only on the portion of the loan drawn down, making it highly cost-effective during the construction phase. 


    The loan is usually short-term and intended to be repaid by selling the developed property or refinancing.
