We Help Keep Britain Building
Development Finance
Development Finance is a short-term funding option, usually for between 1-15 months. It is designed to assist with the purchase and build costs associated with a residential development project. This can be a new build, refurbishment or conversion ranging from a single unit through to multiple units built in phases.
The first element of the funding will often be used to assist with the purchase of the development site. This could be land where a number of new properties will be built or an existing property that will undergo a refurbishment / conversion . The second stage of the loan is used to pay for the build costs associated with the project. Funding for the building works will usually be released in drawn down stages, typically once every month.
Over the last 10 years Hunter Finance have lent more than £75,000,000 on over 350 development projects across the South East, helping our clients take action on profitable opportunities and access outstanding returns on their investments.

Agreement & Funding
How is the loan repaid?
All Fees including interest are rolled into the loan and repaid in one sum upon sale or Refinance of the development. If the project has phased sales or refinancing with numerous units, we would simply take an agreed % from each sale to maintain our loan to value %.
How could equity financing work for you?
We also offer equity financing as an alternative property development finance option. With equity finance, we provide the finance you need in exchange for a share of the property development’s profit. Equity funding is a straight forward way to raise finance and benefit from our expertise in the industry.
