Development finance is becoming an increasingly important tool within the UK property market, not only for professional developers, but also for investors and landlords looking to grow and strengthen their portfolios.

With ongoing housing supply challenges across the UK, the demand for new homes remains high. This has created significant opportunity in the development space, with investors and portfolio landlords turning to development finance as a strategic way to boost returns, diversify holdings and unlock value.

Rather than relying solely on traditional buy-to-let acquisitions, many investors are now exploring ground-up developments, conversions and refurbishment projects to accelerate portfolio growth. Development finance can provide the flexibility and scale required to support these ambitions, but it also brings complexity, evolving lender appetite and increased due diligence.

In this special edition of Lenders’ Live, we’ll be focusing entirely on Development Finance and its growing relevance to brokers working with developers, landlords and property investors.

We’re delighted to be joined by experienced experts from across the development finance sector. Together, they will discuss:
