What Lenders Assess

Development finance is underwritten on the GDV (Gross Development Value) of the completed scheme rather than the current value of the land or building. The key metrics are LTGDV (loan-to-gross-development-value, typically capped at 75%) and LTC (loan-to-cost, typically up to 85% of total costs including land).

Lenders also assess the developer's track record, the scheme's planning status, the strength of the professional team, and the credibility of the exit — sales or refinance.

We work with both first-time developers and experienced operators. For first-timers, the quality of the professional team and the planning consent is often more important than personal track record. Read our guide for first-time developers.
