Commercial Finance funding can be somewhat complex and sometimes finding the right funding can prove difficult and confusing. Below highlights the two very popular funding options and key differences;
Development Finance;
The above refers to work from the ground upwards that will require certain permissions, i.e. whether building one or more properties from scratch or large-scale projects, I.e. Large-scale extension project to current structures. It can also be used to purchase land on which the development will be built.
Refurbishment Finance;
The above refers to the renovation or restoration of current structures where there is no need to seek planning permissions. This could be anything from a lick of paint to thorough re-furnishings of fixtures and fittings considered to be a home improvement.
Main Differences; Confusion can come into place when a project may involve moving walls or some form of other structural works, therefore clients seeking the correct funding need to remember that if the proposed works represent a small portion of the property, i.e. to renovate a current structure, providing the property with a lick of paint through to re-furnishing fixtures and fittings, then this is considered a home improvement and refurbishment finance is the option.
Larger jobs will require Development funding as building a property is considerably more expensive than simply renovating. The minimum loans for development funding start from £100k upwards. Refurbishment projects will often complete a lot quicker as they are less extensive. Therefore, refurbishment terms tend to be shorter lasting from 6 months to 1 year and are lower in value.
