Development Finance

# Capital for significant property developments

Significant development projects require more than capital. They require a clear understanding of the opportunity, the structure behind it and the route from acquisition through to completion.

Clarendon Private Finance advises on and arranges development finance for residential, commercial and mixed-use projects, drawing on more than two decades of property finance experience to assess the wider proposition and identify an appropriate financing solution.

## Our experience spans a broad range of development opportunities, including:

Land acquisition and planning-led opportunities

Prime and high-value residential developments

Commercial and mixed-use schemes

Residential and commercial conversions

Office-to-residential projects

Hotel developments

Purpose-built student accommodation

HMO and co-living developments

Build-to-rent projects

Development exits and refinancing

## Finance considered in the context of the opportunity

Every development has its own characteristics. The land, planning position, proposed scheme, construction strategy, costs, projected values and intended exit all form part of the financing decision.

We take a considered view of the complete proposition, alongside the experience and track record behind it. Where appropriate, we also consider the wider property interests, assets and financial position of the client.

Our role is to bring together the relevant detail, apply our experience and present the opportunity clearly to the market, creating a financing strategy that reflects both the project and the wider circumstances behind it.

## Experience that goes beyond the transaction

Clarendon Private Finance draws on more than 20 years of experience across specialist property finance.

That depth of knowledge gives us an informed understanding of development funding, from acquisition and planning through to construction and exit. It also means we understand the importance of anticipating issues early, assessing the viability of the proposed structure and considering how the financing needs to evolve as the project progresses.

For more complex developments, experience and judgement can be as important as the underlying numbers.

## A relationship throughout the project

Development finance can involve multiple parties and significant decisions at every stage.

You have a direct relationship with an experienced adviser who remains closely involved throughout, coordinating with the relevant funding partners, valuers, solicitors and other professional advisers as the transaction progresses.

From the initial assessment of the opportunity through to completion, our approach is discreet, considered and focused on achieving the right outcome for the project.
