Pre-Planning Bridging Finance

Pre-planning bridging finance is one of our specialist areas at LDN Finance, due largely to the vast number of experienced developers we have nurtured relationships with.

Our well-connected and experienced brokers can secure funding for up to 100% of the purchase price of a proposed site without planning permission, depending on the location, profit, term, your development experience and various other factors.

With developers seeking to maximise their profit on every deal, in a constantly changing property market, the focus has shifted to acquiring residential and commercial development sites on an unconditional basis without planning permission. Our specialist finance brokers focus firmly on various factors, including, the speed, service, fees and interest rate of the funding to ensure the cost of obtaining finance is minimised for all our developer clients.

How can LDN Finance help?

If your property development strategy is to sell a site once planning permission is granted, or to complete the project yourself and maximise the available profit, LDN Finance can help arrange a funding package that meets your bespoke requirements.

In some cases where the developer has a site without planning permission and the strategy is to secure planning permission, build then sell, we can arrange a land loan until planning is approved and then convert the loan to development finance. As we are not switching lenders, it speeds up and simplifies the process and has the considerable benefit of avoiding duplication of arrangement, legal and valuation fees.

Let LDN Finance simplify the purchase of sites without planning consent with pre-planning bridging finance

In all cases, where appropriate, your nominated LDN Finance broker will endeavour to advise you in arranging an exit strategy from your bridging loan. We’ll look to transfer you to a more cost-efficient long-term funding solution with the same specialist or private lender.

In some instances, where a developer does not have planning permission on a site and the strategy is to obtain planning permission, build and then sell, our brokers can arrange a land loan until planning is approved. Our network of agile lenders enables us to easily convert these loans into fully-fledged development finance. As we don’t switch lenders at this stage, it accelerates and simplifies the lending process, avoiding the unwanted duplication of arrangement, legal and valuation fees.

Completion

April 2026

My fiancée and I were recommended to LDN Finance when we started our mortgage journey, and the service we have received, and continue to receive, has been outstanding throughout. Phil Levesley initially looked after us and made what can be a very daunting process feel straightforward and easy to understand. He took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed us, and was always happy to answer any questions we had. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. As part of the process, we also wanted to explore a number of protection policies, and Phil introduced us to his colleague,

Owen was absolutely amazing and supported me every step of the way throughout the mortgage process. He was always clear, patient, and incredibly reassuring, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Bharathy was also really helpful, promptly getting in touch and making sure all the relevant information was handled efficiently. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend them both. Five stars without hesitation.
