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.

London is the UK's largest commercial centre, home to over 1.1 million businesses and generating approximately 23% of the UK's GDP. The city's economy spans financial services in the City and Canary Wharf, technology in Shoreditch and King's Cross, and world-leading creative and media industries across Soho and Southbank. London attracts more foreign direct investment than any other European city, making it a critical hub for businesses seeking access to global capital and talent. With 1.1M registered businesses across Greater London, London has strong demand for competitive development finance.
Funding availability depends on the business and finance required in the Greater London area. Whether your London business needs ground-up residential development or commercial to residential conversion, lenders assess each application individually.
Several specialist lenders on our panel work with London 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.
