HTB Development Finance increases LTGDV to 65%

By Bridging Loan Directory 29th July 2020

Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) Development Finance team has today announced an increase in LTGDV to 65% for loans up to £6m.

The move is part of a deliberate focus to assist smaller experienced developers who will benefit from additional leverage and support from a bank lender.

David Alcock, pictured, Managing Director, Development Finance said:

“We recognise the day to day issues smaller builders face in securing viable sites and navigating a challenging planning system.

There are many pressures associated with being a small housebuilder right now so we are trying to help where we can.

Whilst we do lend up to £15m, we’ve taken the decision to provide extra leverage on loans up to £6m by increasing LTGDV up to 65% in this space.

In the current period of uncertainty, we feel the combination of secure bank funding and dedicated relationship directors up and down the country at HTB who understand todays challenging environment, goes a long way to building long term relationships”.
