Why Shawbrook?
When investing in a development, you need a development finance lender that takes the time to understand your project in detail and provide finance tailored to your specific circumstances.
Our experienced team will visit your site – new build or refurbishment - and if it’s a project we can support, you can count on us to be with you on the journey from blueprint to reality.
Reliable Development Finance for:
Development Finance highlights
Any property used as security, including your home, may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
Our biggest milestone to date
Reaching the milestone of £2 billion in funding reflects our team's hard work and dedication to providing expert funding solutions for developers throughout the UK.
From small-scale projects to large-scale developments, our development finance team has been instrumental in supporting developers at every stage, from concept to completion.
We're eager to build upon our success, supporting more customers and driving innovation in the property development market.
Planning Assistance Loan
Our Planning Assistance Loan is a short-term facility to help developers enhance the planning already agreed for a site (max term 12 months). From this loan, you can transfer seamlessly to a development finance loan to build the project.
Development Exit Finance
Property development projects sometimes need to be extended beyond their original terms.
If your existing finance is coming to an end, our development exit loans offer short-term flexibility to help you navigate unexpected delays, extend the marketing period or raise funds for a new project.
Our Development Exit Finance loans are appropriate for loans over £1m.
For loans under £1m, our Bridging Finance could be the right solution for you.
The onward journey
Once the build is complete, don’t forget that doesn’t have to be the end of the journey with us. If you are retaining the development, we offer a series of finance solutions to support you through the next stages.
Buy-to-Let Mortgages
Award-winning property finance to help you purchase a new investment, refinance an existing portfolio, or raise additional funds to grow your property business.
