Author: Ross Williams

Case details
Loan Size: £1.75m
Structure: 65% LTV
Partner: Luke Egan, Truffle Specialist Finance
The Scenario
An experienced developer had successfully completed a scheme of 19 new-build properties. With 12 units sold, 7 high-quality homes remained on the market.
However, the original development lender required repayment, and with tight timescales in place, the developer needed a structured exit solution, one that would clear the outstanding development facility without forcing discounted sales.
The Challenge
- Development lender requiring full repayment
- Seven completed units still to be sold
- Time-sensitive transaction
- Developer keen to avoid pressured sales and protect profit margins
Speed, structure, and coordination were critical.
The Solution
Working closely with Luke Egan at Truffle Specialist Finance, we structured a £1.75m developer exit facility at 65% LTV.
This enabled the developer to:
- Repay their outstanding development debt in full
- Retain control of the remaining seven units
- Sell at an optimal pace, protecting values and maximising returns
The deal required close collaboration across all parties to meet the required deadlines and ensure a seamless completion.
The Outcome
A £1.75m developer exit completed successfully within tight timescales, providing the developer with breathing space, flexibility, and control over their remaining stock.
A strong example of how the right funding structure, combined with experienced professionals working in sync can deliver outstanding results for developers.
