What is urgent development finance?
Urgent development finance is short-term private funding used when a development, construction or site funding scenario requires a fast response.
Why urgent funding is needed
Urgent funding may be needed because of settlement deadlines, lender pressure, project delays, cost overruns, unpaid contractors or bank approval delays.
Where private lenders can help
Some private lenders can assess urgent scenarios quickly by focusing on the security, LVR, project stage, funding need and exit strategy.
Why banks often cannot move quickly enough.
Even where a scenario is reasonable, bank timing can be too slow for urgent development funding needs.
Banks commonly decline because of:
- Slow approval process
- Valuation and credit delays
- Too many policy requirements
- Presales or servicing conditions
- Complex construction assessment
- Urgent settlement timeframe
- The scenario does not fit standard bank process
Private lenders approve based on:
- Fast initial assessment
- Security value and LVR
- Loan amount required
- Urgency and deadline
- Project stage and risk position
- Borrower contribution and equity
- Clear sale or refinance exit strategy

Case study: urgent site settlement funded privately.
A borrower needed to settle a development site purchase quickly after bank timing became an issue.
The settlement date was approaching and the bank approval process would not be completed in time.
The scenario was introduced to a private lender that assessed the site value, purchase contract, borrower contribution and refinance exit.
The borrower settled the site purchase and refinanced later once the longer-term funding pathway was ready.
Case study: urgent construction funding kept project moving.
A developer needed urgent funding after construction costs increased and contractors required payment.
The project risked stalling if funds were not available quickly.
The scenario was matched with a private lender that assessed the current stage, remaining works, GRV and exit strategy.
The funding allowed works to continue and the project avoided a more serious rescue situation.

Frequently asked questions about urgent development finance.
Common questions from borrowers needing fast private development funding.
What is Urgent development finance?
Urgent development finance is private funding used to assist with time-critical development, construction, refinance, settlement or project funding needs.
Can private lenders help with urgent development finance?
Yes. Private lenders can consider urgent development finance where the security value, loan-to-value position, borrower contribution and exit strategy are acceptable.
Why would a bank decline this scenario?
Banks may decline where servicing does not fit policy, presales are unavailable, the project has changed, timing is urgent or the scenario does not fit standard development lending criteria.
Can this funding be arranged quickly?
Indicative responses can be obtained within 24hrs where the borrower provides the address, loan amount, project status, value estimate and exit strategy.
Can this help if my current lender wants repayment?
Yes. Private lenders can consider short-term refinance or bridging options where an existing lender requires repayment and the project needs more time.
Can this be used before construction starts?
Yes. Depending on the scenario, funding may assist before construction starts where the site, planning status and exit strategy support the loan.
Can this be used for a completed project?
Yes. Depending on the scenario, funding may assist with completion, residual stock, sell-down, refinance or loan exit.
Do I need full financials or tax returns?
Not always. Many private lenders focus on the asset, valuation, project stage, LVR and exit strategy rather than requiring a full bank-style application upfront.
What information is needed for an initial assessment?
Useful information includes the property address, current debt, project status, loan amount required, value estimate, GRV and proposed exit strategy.
Can I refinance from one private lender to another?
Yes. Private-to-private refinance may be possible where the current facility needs to be repaid and the new lender is comfortable with the security and exit.
Can this help avoid a forced sale?
Yes. A short-term private facility can create time for sale, refinance, completion or settlement instead of forcing a rushed exit.
Who contacts me after I submit the scenario?
Once the scenario is reviewed and matched with suitable lending partners, a private lender or their representative can contact you directly to confirm requirements, structure and next steps.
