100% finance for developers

To be successful in the property development industry you often have to act quickly to secure opportunities. Various types of property development lending exist to help you provide the scale of funding you need - including Bridging Loans that can be arranged in a matter of days.

However, in most cases, this funding is designed to supplement your own investment in the project. If you don’t have the funds available, it can mean that you are forced to miss out on the projects - and profits - you have identified.

100% Development Finance - also known as Joint Venture Development Finance or Equity Development Finance - allows a developer to fund a scheme without putting in any of their own cash. It can provide finance from £500K to £10m, depending on the project.

For experienced developers, it can mean the opportunity to take on projects that are out of reach with traditional finance solutions.

What is Joint Venture Development Finance?

Your cash flow may be restricted by the need to complete the sale of one project to start on the next - which can lead to missing out on profitable opportunities if you cannot secure the funds in time. A 100% or Joint Venture arrangement can provide the solution. Unlike other more traditional Property Development Finance, it is possible to access up to 100% of the development costs for a project through Joint Venture Funding - which can be vital when funds are tied up elsewhere.

This funding can range from small-scale finance for individual domestic refurbishments to complex deals for major, mixed-use developments providing multiple new homes.

The exact nature of the funding deal will vary but, in most cases, it involves an experienced developer entering into a joint venture with an established property development company. The funding partner will offer the finance required, the developer will buy the property and carry out the work, and the profits will be split on an agreed basis when the work is done and the property sold on.

Variations exist. Some joint venture property partners may insist that you provide a deposit, which may be as little as 5% of the overall cost of the project, while others may be prepared to offer the full 100%.

Profit splits may also vary. It is possible to have a 60% / 40% split in your favour, but all deals will be arranged on an individual basis, making expert support and advice essential.

The majority of lenders will expect the length of the project to be no longer than 24 months and will expect you to have planning permission in place, before agreeing to enter into a joint venture.
