Why use Saxon Trust Development finance?
Saxon Trust is not your typical development lender. Our business is privately owned and built by property professionals who fully understand both the development and lending process.
We are proud to build long-term relationships with our developers and hope to fund them throughout their careers, offering flexible finance solutions and support throughout the project lifecycle. We don’t have a fixed borrower profile and will consider any credit history on its merits.
Rates fixed for the term of the loan help our developers to avoid the uncertainty and stress that can be caused by increasingly common base rate changes and macroeconomic instability. Whilst material and labour costs may rise during a project, our rates won’t.

“It was a pleasure working with the Saxon Trust team, and we are delighted to have secured a fixed rate deal that gives our client comfort and certainty over a 24-month period to build, market and sell the properties.”
