Unlock 100% Funding: The Nicholas Wallwork Strategy for UK Property Developers
The old rules of property development finance are constantly being rewritten. For too long, the barrier to scaling up has been the ubiquitous 20-40% deposit requirement, leaving even the most profitable deals out of reach for developers tied up in existing projects.
If you’re a developer at the beginning or midway through your journey, you know the game-changing difference 100% finance could make. It's not a fantasy; it's a strategically achievable goal. By partnering with Nicholas Wallwork and his expert team, you can access bespoke funding models designed for maximum leverage. Here's how you can potentially break through the traditional constraints and achieve full funding for your next significant development project.
The Two Pillars of 100% Funding
Traditional lenders might look at a development project and see only the immediate risk. Nicholas's approach, built on decades of experience in high-value property and over £100 million in developments, focuses on the total asset picture and the strategic partnership.
1. Strategic Cross-Collateralisation for Portfolio Landlords
For the experienced developer or portfolio landlord, the secret often lies in unlocking the untapped equity within your existing property assets.
The Problem: You have equity tied up in your Buy-to-Let (BTL) portfolio, but releasing it for a new development can be slow and inefficient, often triggering capital gains or stamp duty issues.
The Wallwork Solution: Nicholas and his finance experts specialise in cross-collateralisation. This is a smart strategy where the equity across your entire portfolio is used as additional security for the new development loan. Instead of a cash deposit, a lender secures their 100% loan against both the new project and the confirmed equity in your existing properties. This significantly de-risks the loan from the lender’s perspective, opening the door to full-cost funding.
My Experience: In my time, I’ve seen this strategy turn 'deal-killer' scenarios into huge wins, especially when dealing with mixed-rate portfolios. By strategically structuring your debt, we can leverage that passive value into active development capital.
2. Joint Venture (JV) Partnership Funding
For projects with a strong Gross Development Value (GDV) and a healthy projected profit—typically over 25%—the joint venture model is your ideal path to 100% funding.
How it Works: In a Joint Venture, the finance partner effectively covers the entire cost of the land acquisition and the build (100% of the project costs). As the developer, your expertise, time, and project management become your equity contribution.
The Profit Split: In return for the full funding and taking on the financial risk, the lender typically takes a share of the final profit, often on a 50/50 basis. You commit minimal to zero cash, the project gets fully funded, and you still walk away with a substantial profit and, crucially, a new completed project on your track record.
The Wallwork Advantage: Working with Nicholas's team means you are instantly connected to an exclusive network of specialist JV funders and private investors who don't advertise on the high street. His track record of completing over £100M in UK real estate developments means your project automatically gains credibility and priority access to the best terms.
