Frequently asked questions

If you plan on purchasing a hotel in any kind of condition, a long list of factors will be considered when assessing your eligibility.

Have you conducted adequate research on the locality? What kind of competition is there in the area? How well are the existing hotels nearby performing? How realistic are your long-term financial projections? What kind of profit margin are you expecting? What is a realistic timescale for the project’s completion?

Importantly, the lender will also want to see that you have planned carefully for all eventualities. Your exit strategy will face particularly heavy scrutiny – i.e. your plan for repaying your development finance loan in full and on time.

Policies and procedures vary significantly from one lender to the next. However, the fundamentals of applying for development finance are fairly similar in all instances, which incorporate the following key stages:

Initial Assessment: Your broker will need detailed information on estimated project duration, profit margins, projected final value of the project, total costs and so on.
Quote: After which, you will be provided with an initial quotation, outlining the total borrowing costs that will apply if you choose to go ahead with your application.
Site Visit: Your lender will most likely hire a trusted third-party surveyor to pay a visit to the project site and conduct a detailed inspection in person.
Formal Decision: It is only at this point that a formal decision will be reached regarding your eligibility for development finance, and a final offer made.
Legal Work: The solicitor you hire will carefully consider all terms and conditions in the proposed agreement, before advising you whether to sign the contract.
Funds Release: Hotel development finance funds are released in a series of stages, in accordance with successful completion of each corresponding project stage.

Documentation requirements also vary from one lender to the next, but you can expect the following as the bare minimum:

Proof of identity and proof of address, along with information on all partners, stakeholders, directors and other key parties involved in the project.
Proof of income, typically in the form of tax returns and/or bank statements.
Formal evidence of company financial performance along with realistic projections for the proposed project.
A detailed and extensive business plan, including evidence of adequate research conducted in the locality of the project.
Evidence of a workable exit strategy or any viable method by which the loan will be repaid within the agreed timeframe.
Full evidence of any required planning permission or other permits, ideally applied for and obtained in advance.
