FAQ's:
Can I get funding without planning permission?
In most cases, lenders require planning permission before releasing development finance. However, some may offer conditional agreements or land bridging loans while you await approval. We can help you structure the deal and prepare for full funding once permission is granted.
Do you support self-builds?
Yes, we work with lenders who offer finance for self-build projects, whether you're building your own home or managing a small residential development. Funding is typically released in stages, aligned with your build schedule and milestones.
What’s the typical loan-to-value (LTV)?
Development finance LTVs vary depending on the project and borrower profile. Most lenders offer up to 65–75% of the Gross Development Value (GDV), and up to 100% of build costs with a suitable deposit or additional security. We’ll help you find the right structure for your project.
