Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can! Property development finance is a specific type of loan designed to fund the purchase, construction, renovation, or conversion of property. Unlike regular mortgages, these loans are short-term and released in stages according to project milestones.

Deposits for property development finance typically range from 30% to 40%, depending on the lender, project complexity, and your experience. Some lenders may require additional cash reserves to cover unexpected costs.

No, you cannot get a traditional mortgage on land without planning permission. However, some lenders offer specialised bridging loans for land purchases, but these are short-term and have higher interest rates. Obtaining planning permission before securing financing is usually recommended.

The amount you can borrow depends on several factors, including:

  • Loan-to-gross development value (GDV) ratio: This ratio represents the maximum loan amount as a percentage of the expected property value after development. Lenders typically cap this ratio between 65% and 70%.
  • Project feasibility: Lenders assess the project’s viability based on your plans, experience, market demand, and financial projections.
  • Your financial strength: Lenders consider your personal income, creditworthiness, and existing assets.
