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.
