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.

For UK limited companies with 3+ months’ trading and monthly revenue.
York is one of the UK's most visited historic cities, with a tourism economy worth over £750 million annually driven by its Viking and Roman heritage, medieval architecture, and world-renowned attractions including the National Railway Museum. The city has a disproportionately strong financial services and insurance sector for its size, with Aviva and Hiscox among major employers, while a growing digital and technology scene is developing around the York Science Park and the University of York's innovation partnerships. York's food and confectionery heritage, historically home to Rowntree's (now Nestlé) and Terry's, continues through a network of artisan food producers and a prominent food tourism economy. With 12k registered businesses across Yorkshire, York has strong demand for competitive development finance.
Funding availability depends on the business and finance required in the Yorkshire area. Whether your York business needs ground-up residential development or commercial to residential conversion, lenders assess each application individually.
Several specialist lenders on our panel work with York 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.
