Commercial Mortgages for Property Developers

What is Development Finance?

Development finance is a funding solution designed for individuals or businesses building property to sell or let after completion. Whether you plan to build on part of your garden or redevelop an inherited property, development finance can provide the capital required. This form of finance supports a range of construction projects, including those involving multiple units or conversions. A Non-Standard Construction mortgage may also be required if your plans involve unusual materials or construction techniques. It is vital to ensure planning permission is granted before applying. At Money Factors, we arrange development finance for clients across the UK with approved planning.

Specialist Property Development Finance Brokers

Finding the right funding for property development requires experience and a clear understanding of UK lending criteria. Money Factors has decades of knowledge in arranging finance for a wide variety of development projects. We support clients building residential units, commercial premises, or mixed-use developments. Every application is reviewed based on its planning status, construction timeline, and cost estimates. Our team works to secure suitable options for your project, ensuring they meet lender expectations and current market conditions. We assist throughout the process, from the initial enquiry to the final drawdown of funds.

Find the Right Commercial Mortgage for Your Development

Securing the correct finance is crucial for any successful project. Yet, many developers often ask:

  • Which lenders are suitable for my type of scheme?
  • Can I secure a high loan-to-value option?
  • Will funding be available before full planning is approved?

At Money Factors Ltd, we help guide you from site acquisition to completion and exit. Our team ensures you access the most competitive and suitable terms currently available.

No two development projects are alike, so your finance shouldn’t be either. We offer a range of funding options, including:

  • Residential and commercial development loans
  • Access to both high street and specialist lenders
  • Loan-to-cost options up to 90–95%
