We arrange development exit finance across Greater London: development exit bridges, sales-period finance, part-complete exits, unsold-units facilities, equity release and refinance for schemes moving from practical completion to a sold or refinanced position. We work with developers and investors, matching each scheme and its sales plan to the lenders that fund finished and part-finished developments.
Greater London sits in the London market. The largest and highest-value UK market and the deepest pool of domestic and overseas capital, spanning offices, build-to-rent, hotels and logistics.

Finance
The finance we arrange in Greater London
The structures we use to repay a development facility and fund the run to sale, alone or together.
Development exit finance
Development exit finance is the short-dated bridge that repays a developer's outstanding development finance facility at or near practical completion. It cuts the monthly carry to a holding cost, funds a clean sales and marketing period, and releases trapped equity for the next site. We arrange and place development exit bridges with the specialist bridging lenders and debt funds that fund finished and part-finished schemes across the UK.
Development exit bridging
A development exit bridge is a bridging loan secured against a finished or near-complete scheme that repays the development lender and is priced below development finance. It removes the pressure of a maturing development facility, lowers the monthly interest once the build risk has gone, and gives a residential development the sales period it needs to sell the unsold units or refinance before sale. We arrange and place development exit bridging with specialist bridging lenders and debt funds.
Sales period finance
The facility that repays a development loan at practical completion and funds the sales and marketing runway while a finished scheme sells. Sales period finance replaces construction-priced debt with a cheaper bridge once the build risk is gone, so a property developer can sell units at full value rather than discount them to hit a development loan redemption date. We arrange and place sales period finance with the lenders that fund a completed scheme through its sales period.
Part-complete development exit
Part-complete development finance is a short-term bridge for a scheme that is part-built but not yet at practical completion, where the original development facility has run out of term or headroom. It funds the remaining build costs to finish the scheme, then carries it through the sales period until the units sell or the development refinances. This is the facility that covers both the cost to complete and the sell-through, not just the unsold stock at the end. We arrange and place part-complete development exit finance with specialist bridging lenders and debt funds.
Unsold units finance
The facility that bridges completed but unsold stock at the tail of a scheme, repaying the senior development loan once the build is done and releasing equity from the units already sold. Unsold units finance replaces construction-priced debt with a cheaper residual stock loan, removing the pressure of a maturing development facility while the remaining units are marketed and sold at full value.
Equity release development finance
The structure that repays the senior development lender at practical completion and releases surplus equity from a finished scheme, so the developer can fund the deposit or land on the next project. Equity release development finance refinances construction-priced debt onto a cheaper development exit bridge once the build risk is gone, then frees the cash trapped between what the senior debt repaid and what the completed scheme is now worth.
Development exit refinance
The move that takes a finished scheme off development finance and onto cheaper debt once the build risk is gone. A development finance refinance repays the senior development loan at or near practical completion, either onto a development exit bridge that funds the sales period, or straight onto a buy-to-let or commercial term loan where the developer is keeping the units. We arrange and place the refinance with specialist lenders and line up the longer-term exit at the same time.
