Unlock financial freedom at building completion with Take-Out Finance
Seamlessly refinance your construction facility into long-term finance, giving you control over holding, leasing, or staging strategies – without the rush to sell.
Take-out finance replaces your short-term construction loan once practical completion is reached. It stabilises your capital structure, extending repayment over 10–30 years with lower, fixed or variable interest. That means no more balloon payments, just predictable cashflow, and flexible hold or exit options.
