Development 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.
Ready to compare development finance in Glasgow?
For UK limited companies with 3+ months’ trading and monthly revenue.
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and commercial capital, with a highly diversified economy that has successfully transitioned from its heavy industrial roots into financial services, life sciences, and the creative industries. The city is home to major financial institutions including Standard Life and Barclays' UK technology hub, as well as a vibrant creative and digital sector centred in the Merchant City. Glasgow's two major universities and strong graduate retention rate continue to fuel innovation in areas such as precision medicine and renewable energy technology. With 45k registered businesses across Scotland, Glasgow has strong demand for competitive development finance.
Funding availability depends on the business and finance required in the Scotland area. Whether your Glasgow business needs ground-up residential development or commercial to residential conversion, lenders assess each application individually.
Several specialist lenders on our panel work with Glasgow businesses that have imperfect credit histories. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender. Check your options when you apply.
