How development finance works

Residual stock finance is different: it refinances completed but unsold stock so a developer has more time to sell or can access equity for another project.

A development lender assesses the project budget, security and exit strategy, then sets a facility and drawdown terms. Residual stock loans are generally arranged after completion and are assessed against the finished properties.

Who it suits

  • Small and medium property developments
  • Commercial construction
  • Refinancing completed but unsold stock

What lenders look at

  • Site and completed property values
  • Development budget and approvals
  • Borrower experience and financial position
  • Sales and exit strategy

Things to watch

  • Check whether the facility funds construction or only refinances completed stock.
  • Maximum LVR can vary with loan size and may include an interest budget.
  • Check fees, interest and the expected exit date together.

Development Finance: common questions

Is a residual stock loan the same as a development loan?

No. A development loan can fund construction; a residual stock loan refinances completed but unsold properties.
