Development Exit Finance

At Development Finance, we specialise in providing development exit finance solutions. Our services are designed to offer financial support to developers as they approach the end of their projects, ensuring a smooth transition from construction to sale.

We understand the complexities that come with property development and offer tailored finance options to suit your specific needs. Our solutions can be a vital component in covering costs and maintaining financial flexibility as you navigate the final stages of your project.

What Is Development Exit Finance?

Development exit finance is a financial solution that we offer to developers as they near the completion of their property projects. As you move from the construction phase to the sale or rental stage, our finance options provide a transition.

This type of finance typically assists in repaying existing development loans, freeing up capital and offering flexibility to explore other investment opportunities.

Our development exit finance usually spans six to twelve months, allowing developers ample time to market their properties effectively without the pressure of immediate sales. We craft our terms to adhere to industry standards and have experience with a variety of property types, from residential blocks to commercial complexes.

Our finance solutions include interest-only repayment plans, which can ease cash flow during this pivotal transition. We work with developers to meet the requirements of lenders, like minimum loan amounts and maximum loan-to-value ratios.

How Much Does Development Exit Finance Cost?

Development exit finance typically costs between 5% and 8% per annum. The exact interest rate depends on several factors, including the project size, location, and the developer's track record.

For instance, larger projects in prime areas may secure more favourable rates owing to expected quicker sell-through times and lower risk profiles. We also consider the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio when determining pricing; a lower LTV can often lead to more competitive interest rates.

Compliance with local planning regulations and the project's build quality can further influence costs.

Our approach involves comprehensive assessments of all these factors to ensure we propose a financial solution that maximises your project's potential. We work closely with our clients to tailor financial packages that align with their specific project requirements and funding goals.
