What is Residential Development Finance?

The realm of residential development finance, while promising, can sometimes seem intricate to both new and seasoned developers. At its core, this type of finance is designed to support the construction and sale of residential properties.

Understanding the mechanics of residential development finance is crucial for any developer aiming for success. By leveraging tailored financing solutions like those offered by Fortis Capital, you can ensure your projects are financially viable.

Key Features of Residential Development Finance:

  • Residential development finance caters to projects such as multi-unit terraced houses, apartment complexes, and conversions of existing structures into residential units.

  • Unlike traditional loans, residential development finance provided by leading non-bank lenders is inherently flexible. It's tailored to fit the specific needs of a project, factoring in its size, duration, and projected sales. This means terms and repayment schedules can be adjusted to the development's life cycle.

  • Given the progressive nature of construction, funds are often released in stages. Typically, an initial amount is provided for the purchase or refinance of the land, followed by further tranches as construction milestones are reached.

  • One crucial term you'll encounter in this space is GDV – the estimated value of the project once completed. Lenders, including Fortis Capital, often use GDV as a benchmark to determine the maximum loan amount for a specific project.

  • Navigating the intricacies of residential development finance can be smoother with a specialist lender. Fortis Capital, with its deep expertise in the field, can offer bespoke solutions, industry insights, and a more personalised approach compared to traditional banks.
