New revolving fund for SME residential developers

The Government has announced a new £25m revolving fund for small and medium-sized (SME) residential developers to ‘grow and deliver more homes at pace’.

Homes England and Invest & Fund, (a development finance lender) have announced a seven-year partnership to increase the amount of finance available to SME developers.

The partnership will create a £25m revolving fund which will be used to provide construction loans of between £400,000 and £2.5m, at up to 80 per cent loan-to-cost.

Funding will be available to SME developers for projects which include at least two new homes.  Applications should be made direct to Invest & Fund.

The Housing Minister Rt Hon Christopher Pincher MP has welcomed the plans and recognised that ‘building the homes the country needs is key to our economic recovery and is a top priority for the Government’ in order ‘to get Britain building’.
