What is refurbishment finance?

Refurbishment finance can be structured as a bridging loan for lighter works or as a development-style facility with staged drawdowns for more substantial projects. The right structure depends on whether the property is habitable, the scale of works, planning requirements and the exit.

Refurbishment Finance FAQs

What is the difference between light and heavy refurbishment?

Light works are generally non-structural and leave the property habitable. Heavy refurbishment may involve structural change, conversion, planning or staged funding. Lender definitions vary.

Can the loan cover the cost of works?

Potentially. Some facilities include works funding, sometimes released in arrears after monitoring. The total loan is limited by cost, value, completed value and lender criteria.

Can I finance an unmortgageable property?

Potentially. Bridging lenders may consider property without a working kitchen, bathroom or heating where there is suitable security, a realistic works plan and a credible exit.

What information is needed?

Usually the purchase or current value, requested loan, schedule and cost of works, expected completed value, experience, planning position, timescale and exit strategy.
