Development Finance highlights
Any property or asset used as security may be at risk if you do not repay any debt secured on it. Our development finance is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority.
If your broker is charging you a fee for arranging the loan then, on completion, we will pay this directly to them. The broker fee forms part of the loan advance. We always include full details of the fee in the loan agreement.
