At Ultimate Finance we specialise in providing the right funding at the right time to help keep businesses moving, and we have developed a range of tailored Residential Bridging Loans that meet the needs of property developers and investors in today’s economic climate. To help provide solutions fit for every developer’s ambition, we offer finance through several types of Bridging Loans, each specifically addressing a common requirement within the property industry. One of those is Development Exit Finance, a solution that directly supports those looking to raise finance against a completed or nearly completed development.
What is Development Exit Finance?
Development Exit Finance is a type of short-term loan that provides funding against a residential project that is completed or nearing completion. It can be used to repay an existing development lender, or to release cash tied into a development that was self-funded so that funds can be redeployed into the acquisition of the next development whilst waiting for the current project to achieve its exit route, predominantly either refinance onto a term product or sell.
Why is Development Exit Finance a great solution for the property sector?
When it comes to property, time and money usually can make a big difference and using a Development Exit Finance loan can provide access to the funding key to completing a project. The funding solution can also help maximise profitability by allowing for more time to sell the properties and ensure they sell at the best price possible. Finally, it can also help ensure that cash goes further by offering savings on interest payments, as Development Exit Finance loans typically have lower interest rates than other development loans.
Some specific benefits of using Development Exit Finance are:
- Flexibility: Development Exit Finance loans can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a project, including the amount borrowed, term and how the interest is repaid
- Speed: A loan can be arranged quickly, with funding in place in just a few days depending on the provider – this helps developers ensure a swift completion of their project so they can sell and move onto the next
- Security: The loan is usually secured against the value of the development project, limiting the risks for lenders and ensuring lower rates than other forms of finance
