Good to know

Questions, answered.

Do I need planning permission before applying?

No - but it changes the lending. With full planning, mainstream development finance applies; without it, we can look at land bridges and planning-gain funding, and the funnel asks so we route the case correctly.

I'm a first-time developer - can you still help?

Yes. Some lenders specialise in first-time developers, usually alongside an experienced contractor or project manager. Experience shapes which lenders we approach, not whether we can help.

How do drawdowns work?

The facility is released in stages as the build progresses, typically signed off by a monitoring surveyor - you only pay interest on funds actually drawn.

What deposit or cash input do I need?

It varies with the scheme. Lenders typically fund up to 70% of GDV including 100% of works, with your input weighted towards the site purchase. We'll gauge it on the first call.
