United Trust Bank tailors products to meet the business needs of our customers. The flexible new product below has been designed to release funds from your completed developments.
Increasingly we are recognising situations where developers may get to the end of a project to find they either have borrowing in place that is too expensive or that their project is ‘undergeared’. Having depleted their resources, they may have a need for additional funding until their properties start to sell.
To address this need, United Trust bank has created a new Sales Period Funding product. As a short term loan secured by recently completed houses/flats, it is an ideal loan to help see a project through to completion. In typical scenarios the funding will cover the refinancing of an ‘existing debt’ and the construction costs not included in the exisiting facility such as self-funded cost overruns. It may also reduce holding costs.
A developer has 5 completed houses with a value now of £1.5m. Their development funding of £0.78m was based on a GDV of £1.3m. They require funds to pay some outstanding supplier invoices and to help fund a new site acquisition opportunity.
A UTB Sales Period Funding Loan at 70% of current value provides £1.050m – £780,000 to satisfy existing creditors and a further £270,000 equity to inject into a new site.
A developer has 10 completed flats with a value of £2m. The scheme is part funded by existing debt at £1.3m with interest running at 10% pa on that.
A UTB Sales Period Funding loan at 70% of value i.e. £1.4m (to include interest) at 8%pa reduces the Developer’s holding costs.
For details of our lending criteria, loan conditions and loan security requirements for this funding scheme, see our Tailored Development Finance product guide here.
