Interest is estimated on the full loan across the term; in practice development facilities draw down in stages, which typically reduces the interest cost. Valuation, legal, monitoring and other fees apply in addition.

Figures are indicative only and do not constitute development finance advice, lending advice, valuation advice or a formal lending offer. Development finance terms depend on lender criteria, borrower experience, planning status, build costs, GDV, exit route and project risk.

These tools provide first guidance only. Final terms and rates depend on a range of factors that CC Finance can identify and discuss with you.

What This Calculator Cannot Assess

Indicative figures are only one element. A professional assessment considers:

Lender appetite for your specific scenario
Borrower profile and track record
Security type and valuation methodology
Exit strategy credibility
Sector and market risk factors
Affordability stress testing
Covenant and condition requirements
Transaction timing and urgency

Why Lender Appetite Matters

Different lenders have different appetites for borrower profiles, asset types, sectors and deal structures. Two lenders assessing the same scenario can offer significantly different terms — or one may decline while the other approves.

A calculator cannot identify which lenders have appetite for your specific scenario. CC Finance assesses lender appetite across the market and positions your case with the most appropriate funders, subject to your circumstances and the transaction details.

Need help interpreting this scenario?

Indicative figures are only one part of the lending decision. CC Finance can help assess lender appetite, structure the application and identify suitable funding routes based on your circumstances.
