The client had been let down by her funder, and came to us through a recommendation from a subcontractor, who had worked with us before. 

Whilst the client had some experience renovating properties, this was the client’s first new build development.

The client owned the land outright which had a current value of £125,000 - with an end value/GDV of £600,000. The total build cost of the development is £320,000. 

We have provided a drawdown facility for the full build costs. The client has the flexibility to draw funds based on her schedule of works - only drawing what’s needed.

To date we have provided funding of £136,000 in 3 tranches, and it’s expected the client will draw down further funds as the build progresses. 

The development is going smoothly and it’s expected that the client will make a healthy profit of over £100,000 on her first development.

Lowry Capital’s development funding is flexible, easy to draw and without the need for a quantity surveyor.

Lowry Capital is happy to fund first time developers who have a credible plan.
