ABOUT DEVELOPER FINANCE
From Site Acquisition.
Through to Completion.
Developer finance, also called construction finance or property development finance, is structured around the project—not simply a standard home loan. The right facility can help support land acquisition, site holding, construction costs, professional fees and the project’s planned exit, subject to lender appetite and approval.
ABS Insurance Brokers can provide lender support for developers with new and existing construction sites by helping present the project, understand the funding requirement and connect the borrower with suitable finance contacts. We can assist with residential, commercial, townhouse, subdivision and mixed-use development enquiries, including projects that require a more considered funding structure.
Every application is subject to lender criteria, valuation, feasibility, security, borrower experience, presales where required, loan-to-cost or loan-to-value limits, terms, fees and conditions.
- Site acquisition, settlement and land holding finance discussions
- Construction funding with staged drawdowns where suitable
- Residential, commercial, townhouse, subdivision and mixed-use projects
- Feasibility, valuation, costs, presales and exit strategy preparation
- Refinance, bridging, residual stock and completion funding enquiries
- Bank, non-bank and specialist lender pathways subject to approval

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is developer finance?
Developer finance is funding structured for a property development project. It may support site acquisition, land holding, construction, professional costs, refinancing or the project exit, depending on the lender, project feasibility, security and borrower circumstances.
Is developer finance the same as construction finance?
The terms are often used interchangeably, although construction finance may refer specifically to funding the build, while developer or property development finance can include the wider project lifecycle from acquisition through completion and sale or refinance.
What information do lenders need for a development finance application?
Lenders commonly consider the site, planning and approvals, development costs, valuation, project feasibility, construction budget, builder, borrower experience, presales or leasing, equity contribution, loan amount, timing and exit strategy. Requirements vary between lenders.
Can you help with new and existing construction sites?
Yes. ABS can discuss lender support for new projects and existing construction sites, including acquisition, construction-stage funding, refinance, bridging and completion enquiries. Each project remains subject to lender appetite, due diligence and approval.
How quickly can development finance be approved?
Timing varies. It depends on the completeness of the information, valuation, feasibility, project complexity, lender appetite and whether approvals or construction details are outstanding. An early discussion can help identify missing information before a formal application is submitted.
