What are the different types of Property Development Finance?

Senior Debt Finance

A primary loan secured against the property, usually with the lowest interest rates.

Senior Debt Finance

Senior debt finance is the main loan provided for a property development project. It is secured against the property and is repaid first in case of default. It typically covers 60-70% of the project costs and offers lower interest rates due to its lower risk.

Mezzanine Finance

A hybrid of debt and equity financing, used to bridge funding gaps.

Mezzanine Finance

Mezzanine finance sits between senior debt and equity. It carries higher risk and interest rates, as it is repaid after senior lenders. It’s useful for developers needing extra funds beyond what senior lenders provide, often in return for a share of profits or higher interest.

Equity Finance

Funds invested by developers or external investors in exchange for ownership or profit share.

Equity Finance

Equity finance involves raising capital by selling shares in the development project to investors. These investors take on the highest risk but stand to gain the most if the project is successful, as they receive returns from the remaining profits after all debts are repaid.

What is Property Development Finance?

The Capital Stack

Property development finance is structured in layers called a capital stack. This usually includes senior debt (the main loan secured against the property), mezzanine finance (extra borrowing between senior debt and the developer’s cash), and equity (money invested by the developer or investors in exchange for a share of the profits). Each layer comes with different levels of risk and return.

Main Types of Finance

There are several types of funding used in property development: senior debt or development loans (usually from banks or specialist lenders), mezzanine finance (second loans to top up funding), and equity finance (developer’s own money or external investors). Some projects use joint ventures, bridging loans, or crowdfunding for extra flexibility.

How Funds Are Used and Repaid

Development finance is typically short-term. Money is drawn down in stages as the project is completed, and interest is often added to the loan rather than paid monthly. The loan is normally repaid when the development is sold or refinanced with a regular mortgage.
