Property Development Finance

Helping you turn property development dreams into reality!

Turn to Bridgewater for property development finance – up to 100% of build costs available

At Bridgewater Acceptances we specialise in providing tailored financial solutions to property developers. Whether it’s a residential, commercial or mixed use development, we can provide fast, flexible financing for your clients to:

Fund the purchase or refinance of land with or without planning

Fund build costs where the land is already owned without any loans secured against it

Fund the purchase of land up to 60% LTV

Fund up to 100% of your build costs

land purchase

Where the security is purely land, without planning, we can offer a choice of repayment options which will include a short term bridging loan up to 24 months, a long term mortgage up to 10 years interest only, or 30 years on a capital and interest basis.

Where the security is land plus build/development costs, we can provide short term bridging loans up to 24 months. If requested we can consider converting the loan upon completion of the build into a long term mortgage.

We can, and do, offer flexible solutions to those who wish to purchase land or who wish to build residential, commercial or a mixture of both property types.

We provide “In Principle” terms provided prior to a full application being submitted.
