Putting capital together for property developers

11 February, 2021 | insight

Increasingly when we structure a finance solution for property developers at £2m+ we are drawing on our equity partners to get the client across the line on the overall project funding.
 

As much as people may tout 100% finance (and yes, this is possible – if a very thorough business case is made), the reality is that any investor would prefer to see a developer make some show of financial involvement (just a few percent in many cases) to build a partnership for doing more business together in the future. And this is how we approach business when we source funds for developers – which has had the positive effect of bringing more funding partners to engage with us.
 

The right capital stack is about achieving balance – both in terms of returns and security for investors, and in terms affordability on the cost on the money overall – and we’re seeing this being achieved for more and more developers on some really great developments.
