Development finance guides

Our development finance guides are for those researching property development where the property will be sold on, rented out, or for commercial property used to run your business from. 

These are all unregulated uses for development finance. Regulated development finance is used to finance building a property you intend to live in and Commercial Trust cannot arrange this type of finance for you.

Our informational guides take you through the steps involved in securing development finance, in detail, covering key considerations such as site selection, design and access, and planning permission, costs involved, how to find suitable lenders, the role a role can play and much more ensuring developers have the knowledge to make informed decisions throughout the development process.

Additionally, our articles and guides address common hurdles faced during ground-up build projects, such as cost management, contractor selection, and regulatory compliance. 

We discuss the unique challenges and opportunities of ground-up developments, providing essential insights and practical advice to help you succeed in this dynamic sector.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or new to ground-up construction, our resources are designed to support your growth and success in the property development market.
