Your questions answered

How does commercial property development finance work?

If you're building a commercial property from scratch, a property development loan could help you with initial purchase costs and throughout the build of the project.

Funds are released throughout the construction programme following a site visit from our independent monitoring surveyor who will certify costs to date and issue a certificate for payment, usually on a monthly basis.

How much can I borrow?

You can borrow a minimum of £250k and a maximum of £5m, with the loan amount determined by the value of the property.

We can help with initial purchase costs, if the project metrics allow for this and planning permission's in place. We create a tailored approach to suit each individual project.

What can the commercial property loan be used for?

The loan can be used to fund the development of industrial and office property in Wales.

Do you offer long term investment loans?

The loan is to support the development of new industrial or office units and is either repaid from the sale of the completed units, from a refinance once the units are let, or a mixture of both. This means we can re-lend the funds to support further property development.

Can you assist with viability gaps?

Grant funding may be available alongside a repayable commercial property loan and is dependent on the location, associated costs and completed value of the project.

Does the property have to be pre-let?

No, applications for speculative developments without any pre-lets or pre-sales are welcome. We can also finance non-speculative projects.
