Development finance enquiries jump 50% at Alternative Bridging
18 Feb 2026
Alternative Bridging Corporation has reported a surge of more than 50% in development finance enquiries following the overhaul of its development finance proposition last month.
The new offering was introduced to support schemes from construction through to final sale within a single, integrated facility.
The lender said brokers had responded positively to the “clarity, flexibility and reduced complexity" offered by the new approach.
The revised proposition combines residential development finance and development exit funding into one product, removing the need for separate facilities and refinance applications mid-project.
Following practical completion, there is an automatic transition into a development exit loan, with the interest rate reducing by 1.5% per annum for the remainder of the term.
“A more than 50% increase in enquiries tells us that brokers and developers were looking for exactly this type of joined-up solution.
“Too often, development finance has been fragmented into separate conversations around build, exit and longer-term funding. By bringing these elements together into a single, clearly structured facility, we’re giving brokers greater confidence and helping developers plan with far more certainty.
“Developers remain active, but they are more cautious and more focused on managing risk. Products that offer flexibility on exit, transparency on pricing and certainty of delivery are resonating strongly, and that’s exactly what this revamp was designed to achieve.”
