Get startedGap finance applies when your primary lender’s construction loan falls short due to unforeseen costs or delays. A secondary lender, often a private funder, provides the necessary additional funds. They typically secure their loan with a second mortgage or caveat on the property. Unlike traditional banks, these lenders focus on the strength of your exit strategy, whether through refinancing or selling the property once the project is complete.
Gap finance involves higher fees and interest rates because it is short-term and carries more risk for the lender.
The main risks include higher interest rates and the lender’s willingness to enforce their security if you’re unable to repay, such as initiating a sale of the property.
