Property Development Loans Essex

Finance Your Vision with Financial Services Solutions

Essex and the Southeast continue to grow, with new residential schemes, commercial redevelopment projects, and mixed-use conversions shaping the region.

From Chelmsford and Brentwood to Southend and Colchester, developers are taking advantage of strong demand and regeneration initiatives. To move a project forward successfully, securing the right funding at the right time is essential.

Financial Services Solutions is based in Essex and supports clients throughout London and the Home Counties. We specialise in tailored property development finance for ground-up builds, conversions, refurbishments, and land acquisition. Our goal is to help you secure funding that aligns with your costs, timeline, and exit plan.

What Are Property Development Loans?

Property development loans are short-term funding solutions designed specifically for real estate projects. They support every stage of a build, from purchasing land to completing structural works and finishing.

Typical uses include:

• New build housing
• Commercial to residential conversions
• Residential refurbishments
• Land acquisition, with or without planning consent

Funding is released in stages to match construction progress. This helps maintain a stable cash flow while reducing financial strain during the build.

​ Types of Property Development Finance

At Financial Services Solutions, we offer a range of property development loans that developers can rely on:

Residential Development Finance

Ideal for housing projects in Chelmsford, Southend, Braintree, and the Southeast. These loans support new builds and refurbishments in high-demand commuter towns and regeneration zones.

Commercial & Mixed-Use Development Loans

Perfect for office-to-residential conversions or ground-up commercial builds in areas like Basildon, Thurrock, Essex, Kent and the Southeast. We help structure the finance that reflects the complexity and potential of mixed-use developments.

Bridging Finance

Short-term loans designed for site acquisitions, planning transitions, or quick project launches. Bridging loans offer flexibility when timing is critical.
We work with lenders who offer competitive loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, assess gross development value (GDV), and provide staged drawdowns to match your build conversion timeline.
