From a Victorian terrace in Exeter to a barn conversion near Holsworthy, renovation finance and small development loans run on different rules from a standard mortgage. Here we cover bridging costs, exit strategies, planning uplift, build cost per square metre by district, and what first-time developers in the county learned the hard way.

What this section covers

  • Renovation mortgages, further advances and retentions
  • Bridging: what it really costs and how the exit is judged
  • Development finance for a first two or three units
  • Build cost per square metre across Devon’s districts
  • Planning uplift, barn conversions and Class Q
