Property Development Finance Update - May 2011

Earlier this year we advised you that the availability of property development finance had improved a little because of the entry into the market of some new lenders. This remains the case and in the section below we have shown some examples of deals that we have funded recently.



Portfolio investors have also benefited from the arrival of two new banks who can now provide loans for residential and mixed residential/commercial properties with good rental yields, up to 75% Loan to Value. This is a major improvement on a few months ago and can help those investors that wish to gear their portfolios so that they can take advantage of new opportunities.



CASE STUDIES:




Development Loan - £220,000 - single new build house in Hertfordshire. LTV 55% of GDV. Interest rate 7%.



Development Loan - £675,000 - single new build North London. LTV 50% of GDV. No formal valuation required by lender and fees were added to the loan.



Bridging Loan - £350,000 - auction purchase London. LTV 70%.



Portfolio Investment Loan - £300,000 - South Coast. LTV 55%
