Development loan
Close Brothers’ level of support represents 78% of costs with build costs equating to £258 psf. Our facility was utilised to fund 100% of the build costs, cover S106 payment and included interest roll up with the balance of funds being utilised to assist with the purchase of the property.
I think having that ‘know-how’, means that they are not just a lender, they are a partner, we can work closely with and that’s something I really liked about Close Brothers. The lending process was very straightforward, they were very clear about what we had to provide and the process going into Credit was very quick

The facility completed 4 weeks after the loan was approved at Credit Committee and the first build payment was made within 6 weeks of completion. Monthly drawdowns are processed within 24 hours of receiving the report from our Project Monitoring Surveyor which is essential in helping Amara build so quickly. Our flexible approach in allowing Advance payments to be paid has also assisted Amara in ensuring works are completed on time.
The works are now complete and both houses sold within 2 months of completion.
