What Is Development Finance?
Development finance is a short-term funding option designed to support property developers in financing the construction or refurbishment of properties. At Windsor Property Ltd, we provide development finance that caters to a wide range of projects, including residential housing, commercial buildings, and mixed-use sites.
Our financing solutions are structured to help developers manage costs such as land acquisition, construction, professional fees, and planning permissions effectively.
We work with you to establish a clear funding roadmap, including initial cost assessments and drawdown schedules. Our services also offer flexibility regarding interest rates and repayment terms to accommodate varying project timelines.
Development finance typically ranges from 70% to 80% of the gross development value (GDV), with funds released in stages to align with build progress. We assist developers in navigating industry requirements and obtaining necessary building regulations and certifications.

How Much Does Development Finance Cost?
Development finance typically costs between 4% and 12% per annum. The interest rate depends on various factors such as the project's size, duration, and perceived risk.
Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios and gross development value (GDV) are also crucial elements that influence rates, as they determine the amount of finance available against the project's expected final value. Additionally, approval processes may vary, with typical project timescales spanning six to twenty-four months, influenced by local planning regulations and the complexity of the build.
At Windsor Property Ltd, we offer competitive rates structured to suit different project requirements, ensuring you receive the best value for your investment. Our team assesses each project comprehensively, factoring in current market conditions and regulatory obligations to provide clear, detailed financial solutions.

What Types of Development Finance Are Available?
We offer various types of development finance solutions to meet diverse project needs, each specifically designed to cater to the unique requirements of residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments.
Senior Debt: The primary funding source, used for larger projects with structured repayments, typically covering up to 70% of the project cost. It often requires detailed financial projections and adherence to strict lending criteria.
Mezzanine Finance: Bridging the gap between debt and equity, ideal for projects requiring additional funding layers. This type typically requires a pari passu agreement and can enhance cash flow through deferred interest payments.
Equity Finance: Investment in exchange for equity, suitable for developers looking to partner with financiers who provide not only capital but strategic guidance and industry connections. It's a solution that offers high return potential.
Bridging Loans: Short-term loans to cover immediate funding needs during development phases, often used to secure property purchases quickly. They usually have terms of six to twelve months and can be tailored to fit the project's timeline.
