Property Development Finance 

Dial Financial Services Ltd can arrange development finance for both residential and commercial property developments throughout the UK. It is possible to arrange funding for both experienced developers and also novice developers. Adverse accounts and credit problems can also be catered for.

Development finance can be tailored to any number of different formats, depending on the client and the clients needs.

The high street banks each have different lending policies but will generally lend up to 70% of land acquisition costs and 70% of development costs. They may also allow a roll up of interest over the period of the development. Due to the relatively lower bank risk this type of traditional funding is the least expensive in terms of rates. Typically high street bank lending will be at bank base rate + a margin of between 1.5% - 2%, depending on experience and the development proposal.

Merchant and specialist banks also have different lending policies but will generally lend up to 70% of site acquisition costs and 100% of development costs. Some will lend as a percentage of the gross development value, which in some cases can result in a much higher percentage lend of site cost as well as all the development costs. As this type of lending is higher risk it is more expensive than traditional bank funding. Typically the margin on bank base rate could be 3% - 4% with a percentage of gdv (gross development value) value as an exit fee.

Dial Financial Services can also arrange 100% funding for developers. A high street bank provides the senior debt of 70% and a mezzanine funder provides the additional 30%. Further information on this type of funding is available in the mezzanine-funding page of this site.
