Supporting your development journey beyond practical-completion. 

Development Exit Finance

Property development projects and strategies don’t always go to plan. Our development exit loans offer short-term flexibility to help you navigate unexpected delays, extend the marketing period or raise funds for a new project. 

Our experienced team will visit 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 from blueprint to reality.

Loans over £1m only. 

Any property used as security, including your home, may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

Why Shawbrook?

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

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