Development Finance
Funding solutions for property development projects
Ichiban Capital helps developers, investors and property professionals access development finance for construction, refurbishment, conversion and value-add projects across the UK.
Development finance is typically structured around the project costs, build timeline, projected end value and overall viability of the scheme. It can support residential, commercial, mixed-use and semi-commercial developments.
When development finance may be suitable
Development finance can be used for:
Ground-up residential developments
Heavy refurbishment projects
Property conversions
Site acquisitions with planning potential
Multi-unit schemes
Mixed-use developments
Development exit and refinance strategies
Structured Property & Investment Solutions
Structured Property Finance
Bespoke funding for unconventional property transactions, layered capital structures or complex security arrangements.
Investment Finance
Tailored capital solutions for investment opportunities and growth initiatives requiring flexible structuring.
Development & Short-Term Finance
Flexible facilities for projects requiring bespoke funding arrangements outside standard development criteria.
Auction Finance
Fast, structured funding to secure assets within auction completion deadlines.
What lenders usually assess
Lenders will typically consider the strength of the site, planning status, developer experience, build costs, cash flow, exit strategy and projected gross development value.
A well-prepared funding proposal can make a significant difference, especially where the project involves multiple phases, complex planning considerations or a tight programme.
