02 / DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

Development finance for what's next.

Specialist funding for new-build developments, property conversions and commercial construction projects.

From acquiring a development site to funding the build, Beyond helps property developers and investors explore finance options structured around their project, budget and intended outcome.

DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

From plans to progress.

Every development starts with an opportunity. Turning that opportunity into a completed project requires the right funding structure, a realistic budget and a clear understanding of the risks.

 

​Development finance can support qualifying commercial and investment-property projects, with funding structured around the acquisition, construction and completion stages.

​

At Beyond, we help you explore suitable funding routes that take account of your project and its requirements.

New-build developments

Finance for qualifying residential investment and commercial construction projects, from site acquisition through to completion.

Property conversions

Funding options for converting existing buildings into new residential investment units, commercial spaces or mixed-use developments.

Commercial developments

Specialist finance for the construction or redevelopment of offices, industrial premises, retail units and other commercial properties.

Major refurbishments

Funding for substantial renovation, extensions and structural alterations where conventional mortgage finance may not be appropriate.

WHAT'S YOUR NEXT MOVE?

A clearer route from plans to completion.

Every development has its own requirements. Our approach is designed to help you understand the funding options and navigate the process with greater clarity.

All funding is subject to lender criteria, satisfactory security, valuation, underwriting, due diligence and approval. Construction funding may be released in stages, subject to lender conditions. Completion and drawdown timescales cannot be guaranteed.

DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

Understanding the costs of development finance.

Property development finance is typically structured around a project's construction programme and repayment strategy.

 

The total cost of borrowing depends on the loan amount, funding structure, project risk and duration.

​

Depending on the lender and facility, potential costs can include:

01

Interest

Interest may be charged on funds drawn, retained or added to the loan balance, depending on the facility terms.

02

Arrangement and broker fees

Lender arrangement fees and separately disclosed broker fees may apply

03

Valuation and legal costs

Costs associated with property valuations, legal due diligence and other professional requirements.

04

Monitoring and drawdown fees

Charges for monitoring surveyor inspections and the release of construction funds in stages.

05

Exit or extension charges

Additional charges may apply depending on the facility terms, repayment timetable and any agreed extension.

Every development has its own requirements. Our approach is designed to help you understand the funding options and navigate the process with greater clarity.

DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

A successful development needs a clear exit.

Completing the construction is only part of the journey.

Development finance is generally intended to be repaid within an agreed term.

 

Before proceeding, it's important to establish a realistic repayment strategy that considers the completed property's value, market conditions and potential delays.

Sale of completed units

Repayment from the proceeds of selling completed properties, supported by realistic valuations, market demand and expected sales timescales.

Alternative funds

Repayment from another evidenced and acceptable source of funds, subject to the lender agreeing to the proposed arrangement.

Refinancing the development

Replacing the development facility with longer-term finance, subject to future lender criteria, valuation, rental income and affordability requirements where relevant.

Important Consideration

A realistic exit strategy should account for construction delays, cost overruns, changes in property values and slower-than-expected sales or refinancing.

​

Neither the projected completed value nor the availability of future finance can be guaranteed.
