Development finance is a specialized form of funding aimed primarily at property developers and investors looking to undertake construction projects or significant renovations. This type of finance is used to cover the costs associated with developing residential, commercial, or mixed-use properties, from the initial purchase of land through to the construction and completion of the project. Unlike standard mortgages, development finance is released in staged payments, typically aligned with the completion of various phases of the project.
This helps manage cash flow and ensures funds are available as the development progresses. Interest rates for development finance are generally higher than traditional loans due to the perceived higher risk involved. Lenders usually require detailed project plans, including projected costs and timelines, and may also require the borrower to have a proven track record in property development.
