High LTV Development Finance London UK - Maximise Leverage for Property Projects

Discover how Fraser Bond helps developers secure high LTV development finance in London, with access to specialist lenders offering increased leverage and flexible funding structures.

High LTV development finance in London allows property developers to secure funding with a lower upfront capital contribution. In a competitive and high-value market like London, this type of finance is essential for maximising returns and scaling development portfolios.

Fraser Bond works with a network of specialist lenders to help developers access high loan-to-value funding solutions tailored to residential, mixed-use, and commercial projects.

What is High LTV Development Finance

High LTV development finance refers to funding where lenders provide a larger percentage of the total project cost, often including:

  • Land acquisition costs
  • Construction and build expenses
  • Professional fees

In London, lenders may offer up to 70–75 percent of Gross Development Value (GDV) and higher leverage through structured finance.

How Developers Achieve Higher Leverage

While standard development loans require significant equity, high LTV funding can be structured through:

  • Mezzanine finance to top up senior debt
  • Joint venture funding with equity partners
  • Stretched senior loans from specialist lenders

These strategies reduce the need for large deposits while maintaining project viability.

Key Requirements for High LTV Development Finance

To secure high LTV development finance in London, developers typically need:

  • A strong track record or experienced project team
  • Detailed planning permission and project appraisal
  • Clear exit strategy, such as sales or refinancing
  • Strong GDV and profitability margins

Fraser Bond ensures every project is presented professionally to meet lender expectations and improve funding success.
