Development-Finance

Property Development Finance Services

Property development requires finance that understands the complexities of the build process. Lender appetite, pre-sales requirements, and cost-to-complete assessments all require a broker with specialist knowledge and established development lender relationships.

Land acquisition finance: site funding structured to reflect planning status, timeline, and exit strategy.

Construction finance: residential, commercial, and mixed-use development loans placed and managed.

Progress claim management: draw-down process managed to keep your build on schedule.

Pre-sales requirements: lender pre-sale thresholds understood and planned for from the outset.

Residual stock finance: bridge funding for unsold stock at practical completion.

Development refinancing: transition from construction finance to investment or exit on completion.

The Wrong Lender Approach Costs Time and Deals

Development lenders assess projects very differently from standard commercial loans. A poorly prepared application or an approach to the wrong lender can cost weeks and jeopardise your project timeline. Our brokers know which lenders suit which projects and how to present yours effectively.

Legal and Accounting Coordinated From the Start

Development finance works best when the legal arrangements, tax structure, and finance are designed together. Our development brokers work alongside Fortuna's legal and accounting specialists to ensure all three are aligned from the outset of your project.
