As an increasing number of private individuals are seeing the benefits of developing property off plan rather than purchasing businesses as going concerns, the options available for development finance are becoming more varied.
Our business mortgage products give you the opportunity to build either commercial or residential property, or to carry out renovations to existing properties.
Main Features
The terms of a commercial loan for development purposes vary considerably from lender to lender but, as a general rule, the following will apply:
- 60% - 70% loan to business value ratio
- Up to 100% loan to value, if the applicant owns the land unencumbered
- 1 year+ loan term, depending on the size and nature of the project
We are experienced in offering equity, mezzanine and senior debt funding solutions to developers across a variety of industries.
