Low Doc Construction Finance – Flexible construction finance with no pre-sales?
Incomplete project? Offshore developer?
No financials? No problem, with GCC!

Global Capital Commercial (GCC) low doc development finance is typically sourced through our network of private investors and lenders and is generally less stringent, requiring minimum or no pre-sales and not requiring financials.

Traditionally, property development projects are funded by banks and other major financial institutions. Here, the minimum requirements would be the borrower’s up-to-date financials and an acceptable level of pre-sales (or pre-leases). GCC’s privately funded, low doc construction finance is a reliable, viable and attractive alternative.

Key Advantages

A Viable Option

“The real advantages of private low doc construction loans, both tangible and intangible, flow from flexible pre-sale requirements. If the borrower does not fit the rigid requirements of a mainstream bank lender, the only real alternative is a private non-bank lender.

If the developer is at the early stages, then low doc private construction finance poses an interesting option, particularly in a rising market. While it is obviously more expensive, there is the very real possibility that it may provide a significantly greater return to the developer; and within a shorter time period. More Profit, less fuss and faster turnaround”

The Benefits:

By utilising GRV-based low doc property development finance, a developer is sometimes able to borrow more money on their project, accordingly limiting the amount of equity they are required to commit.

The main benefit of using a GRV-based, low doc construction loan is that it provides the developer with the option of obtaining construction finance with minimum or no pre-sales. This is particularly significant in markets where the value is growing. Under these circumstances the developer would prefer to sell the units at completion, so they can achieve capital growth on the properties during the building period.

It is important to note that typically banks will not extend development finance until the required pre-sales are in place. This will mean that the property developer will have to hold and pay interest on the land until the required pre-sales are obtained and confirmed as acceptable by the bank, which obviously means extra costs to the developer. GRV-based low doc project finance will allow the developer to start works without pre-sales, and thereby limiting holding costs. Low doc construction finance proves that cheapest is not always the best option for property developers.

What our clients say

“I engaged Global Capital to assist my client with obtaining approval for development finance for 8 townhouses as none of the major banks were able to assist.

The client owned the land outright, however needed to finance all costs relating to the construction. They were able to obtain approval consistent with the clients’ requirements (specifically no pre-sales) in a timely and professional manner. The approval was a big relief for the client as this project could release significant equity for them once completed.

Global Capital’s communication throughout my dealings with them were of honesty and sincerity and I would highly recommend the company to anyone if they require assistance in obtaining finance for property development.”
