Finance Application Process: From Review to Release

Start the finance application process with the property address, funding amount, project purpose and proposed repayment strategy. Include plans, budgets, schedules and borrower details where available.

For construction and development, outline the current planning status, work completed and the next milestone. The team can then identify gaps and explain which supporting documents are needed for assessment.

The review considers the project timeline, budget, proposed security and repayment strategy. Questions about ownership, existing debt and draw assumptions help establish whether the proposed facility fits the transaction.

After submission, the team may request clarification or further supporting information. An initial discussion or assessment is not an approval or commitment to lend; any funding depends on lender criteria and formal terms.

Site information and inspections help confirm the property condition and progress relevant to the proposed funding. For an active build, keep your budget, programme and evidence of completed work up to date.

Valuation and verification requirements depend on the property and facility. Any differences between the submitted information and site conditions need to be resolved before funds can be scheduled.

Before settlement or a drawdown, the required documentation and funding conditions must be satisfied. Confirm the agreed amount, costs, timing and payment instructions through the appropriate channel.

For construction facilities, later releases follow the agreed drawdown process. Keep records of approved milestones, remaining costs and changes to the project so the finance application process carries through into clear ongoing administration.
