Property Development and Construction Capital

Property Development and Construction Capital

Probably the most difficult and tortuous part of acquiring land for property development, developing land already owned or buying property for refurbishment and re-use, is obtaining construction capital or finance for the project. Property development loans and construction capital can be secured for many development projects both residential and commercial:

  • Greenfield development loans
  • Brownfield development loans
  • New build loans and steading conversions

Typically, some of the requirements to qualify for this type of property development and construction capital finance are:

  • providing a deposit, typically 25 – 40% of the value or cost of the property concerned, though less in some cases
  • providing an equity contribution if the deposit available is less than the minimum (25 – 40%) of the value of the property
  • establishing the capability to repay the loan at the end of the contract term

Murray Commercial Finance are aware of the needs of developers, architects and constructors who seek finance for these types of project.
