Community Land Trust Fund

Delivering Affordable Sustainable Housing

Development finance

The CLT Fund offers development capital loans for building affordable housing of up to £30,000 per unit to top up commercial development capital already secured from banks and other investors.

At this stage we would expect to see a business plan, designated land with planning permission and architectural drawings of an affordable housing project.

Interest rates for development capital loans are typically 6.5% for the first year and 8% thereafter and secured by at least a second charge over the land and building.
