Development Loans
Full Development Projects
A full development project is a large-scale undertaking that involves building a property from the ground up. Commonly referred to as ground-up financing, this type of loan is essential for developers starting with an unbuilt property or land. Key aspects of full development loans:
- Funding is typically based on the Gross Development Value (GDV) of the property after completion.
- Lenders often provide a percentage of the GDV, reflecting the future value of the completed project.
- Since unbuilt properties cannot have a standard assessed value, this financing relies on project estimates and market appraisals.
Whether you're constructing residential homes, commercial properties, or mixed-use developments, Sleek Direct offers flexible solutions to meet your unique needs. Learn more about our Development Loans here.
Conversion Projects
If you're transforming an existing property into a new, functional space, conversion finance is the perfect solution. Conversion projects do not involve laying new foundations but focus on remodeling or re configuring internal spaces to suit specific purposes.
What conversion projects include:
Remodeling and re configuring internal walls. Converting commercial properties into residential spaces or vice versa. Transforming unused spaces like barns or warehouses into functional buildings.
Benefits of conversion loans:
Cost-effective compared to full development projects. Allows you to retain and improve existing structures. Access to specialist funding tailored to your project’s scope.

Heavy Refurbishment
When your project involves significant structural changes, heavy refurbishment finance offers the support you need to enhance a property’s value. This type of Development Loan is perfect for large-scale projects costing £25,000 or more.
Examples of heavy refurbishment projects:
Loft conversions to add additional living space. Structural changes that alter a building’s functionality. Major renovations requiring permits or permissions.
Loan features:
Short-term funding ranging from a few months to three years.
Flexible repayment terms to align with project timelines.
Ideal for projects aimed at increasing property value or resale potential.
For large-scale property upgrades, trust Sleek Direct to provide the financial resources and guidance you need. Discover more about heavy refurbishment options on our Bridging Loans page.
