Compare development finance rates in Belfast — 2 minutes, no credit check
Check EligibilityDevelopment finance is specialist lending for property development projects — new builds, conversions, refurbishments, and renovations. Unlike standard mortgages, funds are released in stages as the build progresses, and repaid when you sell the completed units or refinance.
You apply with your project plans, planning permission, build costs, and a projected Gross Development Value (GDV). The lender values the site, assesses the project, and if approved, releases an initial tranche for site acquisition. Further drawdowns follow at agreed construction milestones — foundations, first fix, second fix, completion.
The primary development loan. Up to 65-70% LTGDV and 70-85% LTC. Rates from 6.5% per annum.
Fills the gap between senior debt and your equity. Up to 90% LTC. Rates from 12-18% per annum.
Combined senior + mezzanine in one facility. Up to 85% LTC. Rates from 8-12% per annum. Simpler structure.
Borrow £1,000,000 at 8.5% over 18 months. Total repayable: ~£1,127,500. Your rate depends on your circumstances.
