Supporting your development journey beyond practical-completion. 

Development Exit Finance

Property development projects and strategies can experience unforeseen challenges. Our development exit loans offer short-term flexibility to help you keep the project on track by navigating unexpected delays, extend the marketing period or raise funds for a new project.

Our experienced team will get to know 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.

Why Shawbrook?

When investing in a development, you need a lender that takes the time to understand your project in detail and provide finance tailored to your specific circumstances. 

Our development exit loans can be used by experienced property developers and investors for a wide range of asset types, including:

  • New build, conversions and refurbishment
  • Residential, commercial and mixed-use developments
  • High value residential projects
  • Student housing, senior living and co-living
  • Care homes
  • Phased development schemes

Any property or asset used as security may be at risk if you do not repay any debt secured on it. Our development exit finance is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority.
