The Client’s Initial Challenge
We were recently approached by a client who was a first-time property developer. They had identified a site they were eager to develop but, through our early-stage analysis, we identified that the project lacked the necessary profit margin to make it a viable investment for the client.
Rather than push forward with a deal that wouldn’t serve the client’s best interests, we explained the potential risks to the client and their broker. Determined to pursue their first development, the client found a new opportunity — a single three-bedroom detached home in Farham, with a stronger ROI.
The Magnet Capital Approach
Now that the client had secured a more suitable site, we were able to proceed with their development finance loan.
Working closely with the client, we structured a tailored 12-month loan facility, covering 55% of the GDV (plus rolled-up interest), 100% of the build costs, and 50% of the day-one purchase amount, with a total loan facility of £275,000 and a day-one loan amount of £75,000.

"By identifying potential issues in the client’s initial project and guiding them toward a more viable project, we helped them secure a site better suited to their experience.The three-bedroom family home was completed within nine months, with tranches drawn down within 24 hours of our valuers’ inspection. The property is currently on the market for £625,000 and the client is now NHBC accredited – a testament to the success of their first development project."
