The Bridge Fusion Route for Longer-Term Development Exit
Read case study“Developer exit bridging loans offer short-term finance for property developers, which they can use to repay their development finance. This provides extra time to finish works, or find the right buyers for the properties.
The borrower uses the loan to pay off their, often more expensive, development finance. Development exit loans are secured against the built assets and have many options regarding repayment, including repaying each time a property is sold, or servicing the loan. This can all be discussed with our underwriters.
Development deadlines can be tight, and developers may find they’ll need more time to sell properties at premium prices, or organise long-term finance. Developer exit bridging loans can facilitate this.
It can also ensure that they don’t end up paying expensive fees to their initial lender should they encounter any delays.”

What type of loan are development exit loans?
Our developer exit bridging are short term, specialised products designed to cover original development finance. You can use this funding to secure extra time to finish works, figure out long-term finance solutions, and find the right buyers for your development. This breathing space may prevent you from needing to sell off individual units at a reduced price, just to hit a looming deadline.
How much can I borrow?
You can borrow between £100,000 and £30,000,000 for this type of loan.
What can I use development exit finance for?
This loan can be used for small or large residential development projects, ranging between 4 and 100 units. The funding can allow you to finish off any minor development works such as internal refurbishments. Development exit loans help bridge the gap between completion of a project and securing long-term finance, or the sale of the units.
What types of property can I purchase?
You can use this funding to support the purchasing of multiple units primed for development. They could take the form of individual builds, a block of flats, or other types of buildings. Our development exit finance can be used for both residential and commercial properties located in England and Wales.
What are the advantages of development exit finance?
Property developers may start a project with the simplest end-goals in mind. You may just want to develop a building to its fullest potential, and sell individual units for a healthy profit. But, these kinds of projects take time. Often, things rarely go to plan. Refurbishment works can end up delayed, while external changes in the economy force adaptation.
We’ve seen evidence for this in recent months. Supply chain issues left builders with material shortages, while Government changes put the markets in turmoil. Adapting to these problems will be difficult enough. But our development exit finance can ease the pressure as you find long-term solutions to these kinds of short-term issues.
On top of giving you additional time to organise your affairs, developer exit bridging loans provide flexibility and budget-friendly perks. There are many ways to set up an agreement and tailor repayment terms. You can repay the loan in stages as you sell off units, minimising the interest payable and cutting monthly bills.
