Development finance is a type of funding typically used to help fund property purchases, new developments and construction. Development finance can be very flexible and can also be used for purposes such as office refurbishments, conversions and for paying interest and fees. Development loans allow your client to finance the entire property development process, from acquisition and construction to renovation and refurbishment.
By acquiring a Development Finance loan, your client can conveniently expand their investment portfolio. A significant advantage of development finance is its potential to magnify the impact of an investor’s capital. By financing a portion of the project costs, the loan allows investors to undertake developments that might otherwise be out of reach. This strategy can facilitate portfolio growth at a faster pace compared to relying solely on personal capital or traditional mortgages.
Development Finance Loans can indirectly improve overall return on investment within an investment portfolio. The potential for higher rental yields or resale values on developed properties can outweigh the borrowing costs associated with the loan. Additionally, successfully completed development projects can free up capital for further investments, creating a snowball effect for portfolio growth.
Our Development Loan is perfect for purchasing property and refinance services, covering site costs, construction expenses, interest, and other fees.
The loan also offers an extended sales period, and upon completion there is an option for a top-up advance if required. There is also the benefit of a reduced bridging interest rate during the sales period.

This £1.3 million development loan in Basingstoke, Hampshire presented complexities that our BDMs were able to overcome. The land for this project lacked registration, and legal intricacies surrounded transferring portions earmarked for development. However, our flexible approach allowed us to tailor loan terms that aligned with the security structure. Following swift agreement, we delivered the loan within two weeks.
On completion day, the borrower required an urgent £120,000 advance to initiate construction. Demonstrating our commitment to responsiveness, Alternative Bridging acted swiftly.
