How to unlock or save a part-completed development

We have noticed a rapid increase in requirements from our developers and professional contacts to provide capital solutions for part completed projects.

The 2 typical situations are:

(1) The current projects have come into difficulties and the current developer needs to restructure their current funding proposal. One of the main situations is linked with delays on sites and the sustained increase in construction costs. This leads to under-capitalised developers with a need to refinance and increase funding purely to stop the project coming to a standstill. But, it can also link to issues with the lender not having funds, or the contractor going into liquidation.

(2) Or, subsequently, the previous was not achievable and the site is up for sale so looking to acquire. While these are complex situations, due to the position of the project, for experienced developers these can also pose a compelling opportunity to purchase at undervalue, with a shorter build period to fruition – which means higher returns and financial rewards.

How it works?

  • An initial loan is provided to purchase the site, or refinance the current lender
  • The lender will be reassured by works that have been completed to this point, typically by relying on what is already in place and consulting professional parties that any risks are mitigated
  • It will be structured like a development loan where tranches are provided as construction continues
  • Exit will be the same as a normal development, through sale or refinance

Most funders like to be in place from inception, so it’s using our knowledge of the market to work with specialist funders who are capable of understanding the complexities and risk.
