What is a development loan?

A development loan is a finance product specifically designed to support subdivision, development and construction of multiple dwellings.

Development Loans work very similarly to construction loans but are normally reserved for larger-scale projects and/or projects where the developer intends to sell some or all of the dwellings once construction is complete. Like Construction Loans, rather than getting all the funds approved upfront, the balance of development loans progressively increases as the development project progresses and the bank pays the builder or developer upon each milestone being completed. 

Depending on your financial situation and the size of the project, some lenders may require evidence of Pre-sales prior to approving your finance and most lenders will want to see that you are contributing equity and/or your own savings towards the project also. 

Our award-winning team will be here to support you in choosing the right option.

How much can I borrow?

Your Rise High Mortgage broker will take the time to understand your personal situation, your goals and priorities (both short and long-term) and your development project.

We will then review all the lenders on our extensive lender panel (of over 70 lenders) looking at their credit policies, application criteria and fees and charges and spend time negotiating with the lenders on your behalf to get you the best outcome with each potential lender.

To help you make your decision on which loan and lender are right for you we will present you with a detailed loan comparison table that compares the top lender options best suited specifically to your needs. When we meet with you, we will go through your personalised loan comparison report in detail and answer any questions you may have so that you can feel excited and confident about your decision.

Because we would have already undertaken extensive analysis work prior to providing you with advice, you can be confident that the lender options we present to you are all viable options for you that would result in a positive outcome, allowing you to achieve your goals and bring your project to life.

Setting yourself up for success with the right loan

When choosing to secure finance for your development, you will also want to keep the following in mind:

Interest rates, costs and fees:

The costs and fees will vary greatly across different lenders and will also vary depending on the magnitude of your development project, your financial position and the level of security the bank holds.

Although rates vary amongst lenders, to help you manage your cash flow throughout the project your development loan is likely to be interest-only and we can also explore capitalising the interest (and adding interest accumulated to your loan balance) during the project so that this can be repaid after the project is complete.

Other Costs:

As with any project, you will want to keep in mind all costs and risks involved to ensure profitability, viability and making the most out of your efforts and time.  In planning for a subdivision or development project, we recommend that you take into consideration
  • Plans, permits, consultant and application fees
  • Land quality and size council requirements 
  • Onsite works like drainage, electricity, fencing, water and driveways
  • Demolition costs and
  • Potential tax considerations like Capital Gains Tax

"They're all magicians!"

I think this is my 13th loan arranged through Rise High (it could be more). The team has always put my goals first and explored every lender policy to ensure that I'm not just able to achieve my objectives, but to get a great deal more than I ever thought possible. No wonder Rise High takes out just about every top award, every year. They're all magicians! There is simply no more nightmare of uncertainty, and their ethics is unparalleled. From 26 year of personal history in the property market, I couldn't offer any broker a higher commendation!

"have your interests at heart"

James and the team at Rise High were amazing. This was my first time getting a home loan, whereas for my partner has gone through the process with Rise High several times. I must admit I was a little nervous and heard of many bad experiences with other companies but this was certainly not the case. It was so easy, the team led us through the documents they needed and answered all my questions quickly, the whole process was absolutely seamless. James provided us with the best options so quickly and within 10 days we had approval. Pretty unheard of in this market at the moment, just goes to show with the right team anything is achievable. I would highly recommend Rise High to anyone who is looking for a mortgage broker who is trustworthy, reliable and who have your interests at heart.

"No question is too complex"

The Rise High team are absolutely on point with everything. Their communication is 11/10. I've refinanced with them twice now and on to my 3rd loan. Each time I have been informed of every step along the way and kept in the loop with everything. No question is too complex. I've referred family and friends to Rise High and will continue to use them in the future!

"Knocked this one clean out of the park"

I can't rate Rise High Financial Solutions highly enough. When dealing with banks and conveyancers and navigating the sometimes convoluted pathways to property ownership it's important to have expert advice and motivated staff in the form of the team at Rise High 'batting for you'. Thank you so much, you knocked this one clean out of the park. Rob 😊
