Development Mortgages

These are primarily used to fund development projects as well as refurbishments and conversions. The liberalisation of UK planning laws has ignited the sector and this type of funding has gained popularity.

This type of finance is availed usually to experienced operators who can demonstrate experience in the sector. First time developers need to engage an experienced builder with a track record.

    This is specialist funding. The application needs to be structured and presented properly to the lender with detailed costings and forecasts.

    The funds are drawn down in stages so that interest is paid only on the outstanding balance. Periodic inspections are done by the lenders surveyors to ensure quality control and timely completion of each stage. An over run of costs or delays can eat into the project profitability.

    "Award winning mortgage advisors & I can see why"

    Bob stepped in at very notice to assist us when we were in danger of missing out on our perfect home. We were impressed with advice we'd seen Bob provide on a forum, which was clear and sensible. It was later we found out that Chess are award winning mortgage advisors and I can see why.

    "Chess was by far the best decision we made in looking for a mortgage"

    I can't thank Jaz and Bob enough for their efforts in helping my wife and I in secure a mortgage. The process was effortless and they took weight off our shoulders. Having gone through getting a mortgage a number of times, I can safely say using Chess was by far the best decision we made. I will be using them again.
