"Property finance comprises payment over time and/or a financial contribution and/or control without ownership of our property investments and developments. Property finance is, therefore, the combination of the three levers of money, time and control over property assets."
There are over 50 different property finance solutions covered across three main categories. • Institutional Finance - this is what most people would think of when considering finance, it is money provided through a traditional source, such as a bank. • Alternative Finance - this is money that comes from a less familiar source, such as people we know and non-traditional providers like crowdfunding, P2P lenders and even the taxman! • Creative Finance - this source of property finance mimics other forms of funding through the use of different commercial and contractual structures, such as delayed/conditional completion, options and even rent-to-rent.
