Can I get a loan for my personal property development?

Development finance is a mortgage or loan designed to help you fund the building of a property that you intend to sell or rent out once it’s complete. You might have a portion of your back garden you can section off for a new-build, or perhaps you have inherited an older property that you wish to knock down to make space for new homes or apartments. You may need to discuss Non-Standard Construction mortgages with your broker if you have special circumstances. John Charcol is an expert in helping clients to arrange development finance for projects with planning permission throughout the UK.

John Charcol Expert Tip - February 2024

"Given the substantial expenses associated with real estate development in the UK and the prevalent need for developers to secure funds for project completion, development finance emerges as a progressively favoured solution to bridge this financial gap. This form of financing offers loans for land acquisition, debt repayment and facilitates project completion, with exit strategies typically involving property sale or long term secured loans."
