Development Finance
Get the cash injection you need to build or refurbish your property. We’ll help you secure competitive terms for the development finance to fund your project.
How we help
SSAS Purchases
Using a pension fund to purchase a commercial property is a tax-efficient way to maximise your returns.
Your pension is a separate legal entity which can make a secured loan and be party to a lease. Your pension fund purchases the commercial property and rents it back to your business through a lease. The company pays the rent (into the pension scheme), and the pension scheme repays the loan.
These arrangements can be complicated, but they are often lucrative.
We have expertise to explain the concept and guide you through the process.
Development Loans
Unlike traditional loans, development finance takes the value of the completed property into consideration. That means that you can access a greater level of funding for a development scheme.
We’ve secured finance for all sorts of property developments including residential flats, commercial office blocks, large scale housing developments and brand new retail parks.
Whether you’re a first-time developer, or you have a portfolio of successful developments to your name, we can arrange the finance to get your next project off the ground.
Refurbishment Finance
Finance is available to restore dilapidated buildings, to extend a property, change the purpose of a building or to redecorated outdated designs.
If you’re a portfolio landlord, you may require this sort of finance fairly regularly to keep all your properties well-maintained and up to date.
Our teams have expertise in securing refurbishment finance for a range of commercial and residential properties.
