Property Finance
Hawkridge Commercial works with experienced property developers and commercially proven operators entering development for the first time.
We introduce funding solutions where traditional lenders are unable or unwilling to act due to complexity, timing or structure.
• Acquisition finance and commercial mortgages (unregulated)
• Development finance (new build, conversion, mixed-use, refurb)
• Bridging finance for acquisition, refinance or time-sensitive opportunities
• Value-add and refurbishment projects
• Structured funding involving multiple assets or titles
Supporting construction companies entering development
We regularly work with established construction and contracting businesses looking to take their first steps into property development.
These businesses often have the technical capability, but limited exposure to how development finance, lender requirements and exit strategies operate in practice.
Our role is to bridge construction expertise and development funding.
How we help
• Explain how development finance works, including cost appraisals, drawdowns and lender controls
• Position construction experience so lenders can properly assess and underwrite risk
• Introduce appropriate development finance providers
• Recommend solicitors and professional advisers familiar with development funding
• Work through exit strategies from the outset
Clear boundaries
We work only with commercially proven operators with a defined scheme and exit strategy.
We do not support speculative or poorly structured projects.
Development exits
For all development-led transactions, the exit strategy is considered from the outset.
This may include:
• Sale of completed units
• Refinance onto buy-to-let or holiday-let funding
• Portfolio-level restructuring following stabilisation
Where appropriate, we introduce exit lenders and help position the scheme so the transition from development finance to longer-term funding is clear, credible and executable.
