Greenfield Land Loan UK - Financing Development on Undeveloped Land
A concise guide to securing a greenfield land loan in the UK, focusing on specialist finance, development potential, and Fraser Bond’s expertise in residential and commercial projects.
Introduction
Greenfield land—undeveloped land without existing structures—offers developers a blank canvas for residential or commercial projects. Securing a greenfield land loan UK is essential to fund land acquisition, planning, and preparatory works efficiently.
Fraser Bond provides specialist advisory services, connecting investors and developers with lenders, structuring finance, and delivering insights into the UK market for greenfield development.
What Is a Greenfield Land Loan?
A greenfield land loan is a short- or medium-term commercial or development loan used to:
- Acquire undeveloped land for residential or commercial development
- Fund planning applications, surveys, and professional fees
- Prepare for construction finance or long-term development funding
Why Specialist Lenders Are Needed
- Lending based on projected end-value rather than current land value
- Flexible drawdown schedules aligned with planning and development milestones
- Support for residential, mixed-use, or commercial projects
- Expertise in greenfield site viability and UK planning regulations
Key Lending Criteria
Lenders typically assess:
- Location and demand for new developments (London and UK regions)
- Planning potential or approved permissions
- Developer experience and track record
- Site access, topography, and feasibility studies
- Loan-to-value ratios (commonly 50%–70% for land acquisition)
Fraser Bond helps developers prepare strong applications to maximise lender approval.

Investors and developers can access:
- Land acquisition loans for greenfield sites
- Bridging finance for quick purchases
- Development finance once planning approval is obtained
