Just 14.5% of all new build homes currently for sale have seen an asking price reduction, suggesting many are choosing to extend the sales period rather than accept lower offers that could erode scheme profitability.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst this approach can help protect gross development values and overall returns, it also means capital remains tied up within completed developments for longer, delaying its recycling into future schemes.<\/p>\n<h3>Developer exit finance is growing in importance<\/h3>\n<p>As a result, developer exit finance is becoming an increasingly important part of the development lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>By allowing developers to refinance completed schemes, repay development facilities and release working capital, it provides the breathing space needed to continue marketing properties without unnecessary pressure to discount simply to meet loan maturities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany developers would rather give themselves additional time to sell than unnecessarily erode the value of a scheme, particularly where market conditions remain relatively stable, and buyer demand is still there,\u201d said Samuels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s why developer exit finance has become increasingly important. It provides developers with the breathing space to refinance completed schemes, release capital and continue selling without the pressure of having to accept lower offers simply to satisfy an approaching loan maturity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded: \u201cUltimately, it&#8217;s about giving developers greater control over the final stage of a project, helping them maximise value whilst putting themselves in a stronger position to move on to their next opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Key takeaways<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>More than a quarter (25%) of new build homes have been on the market for longer than three months<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>More notably, one in eight (13%) have now been searching for a buyer for more than six months, whilst 4% have remained on the market for over a year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Despite this extended selling period, relatively few developers appear willing to discount.
