High Value Development Finance
Large-scale development finance from £5m to £300m for ground-up, conversion, and mixed-use projects. Competitive rates for experienced developers.
Finance for ambitious developments
Large-scale development projects require funding partners who operate at a different level. Facilities of £5 million to £300 million demand institutional-grade underwriting, sophisticated capital structuring, and lenders with genuine appetite for major schemes.
Doulton Bridging Finance works with senior lenders, mezzanine providers, and private credit funds who specialise in high-value development lending. Whether you are delivering a 200-unit residential scheme, a mixed-use regeneration project, or a phased commercial development, we structure the capital stack to optimise your returns and minimise your equity requirement.
Built for large-scale development
£5m to £300m Facilities
We arrange development facilities at scale, from mid-market schemes to major developments. Our lender relationships extend to institutional funders and private credit providers.
Ground-Up Development
New-build residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes financed from land acquisition through to completion and sales. Full development lifecycle funding.
Multi-Phase Schemes
Complex developments with multiple phases, planning stages, and completion dates. We structure facilities that accommodate phased delivery and rolling sales programmes.
Mixed-Use Expertise
Schemes combining residential, commercial, and retail elements require lenders comfortable with multi-use valuations and varied income streams. We access those specialists.
Proven Developer Rates
Experienced developers with a strong track record attract preferential pricing. We present your experience effectively to secure the most competitive terms available.
Mezzanine and Stretch Senior
For schemes requiring higher leverage, we arrange mezzanine finance or stretch senior facilities alongside the main development loan to reduce your equity contribution.
How it works
Scheme Appraisal
We review your development plans, track record, costings, and projected GDV to assess the scheme and identify the optimal funding structure.
Funding Strategy
For large schemes, we may approach senior lenders, mezzanine providers, and equity partners. We structure the capital stack to minimise your cost of funds.
Terms and Approval
We negotiate terms across the funding structure, coordinate valuations and due diligence, and secure credit committee approval for the full facility.
Drawdowns and Monitoring
Funds are released against agreed milestones. We coordinate with monitoring surveyors and the lender throughout the build to keep drawdowns on schedule.
