About Hammersmith Development Finance
Part of Construction Capital, we are specialist development finance brokers dedicated to serving property developers across the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham. With over £400M+ funded and relationships with 100+ lenders, we deliver the capital your projects need.
Our Story
Hammersmith Development Finance was established as the dedicated local arm of Construction Capital, one of the UK's leading specialist property development finance brokerages. We recognised that developers working in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham needed more than a generic finance broker — they needed a partner who truly understands the unique planning environment, conservation area constraints, and market dynamics of this rapidly evolving part of West London. From the riverside regeneration zones along the Thames to the transformation of White City into an innovation district, from the period property conversions in Brook Green and Brackenbury Village to the major schemes around the Olympia redevelopment, every pocket of Hammersmith presents distinct opportunities and challenges that demand specialist knowledge.
Construction Capital was founded with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between ambitious property developers and the right sources of capital. Over the years, we have built relationships with more than 100 specialist lenders, ranging from high street banks and challenger institutions to private credit funds and family offices. This breadth of lender access, combined with our deep understanding of how each lender underwrites and what types of projects they favour, allows us to match every development project with the most appropriate and competitive funding solution available in the market. We have funded over £400M+ in property development projects across London, and a significant and growing proportion of that volume has been deployed in the Hammersmith borough.
What sets us apart is the combination of national-scale lender relationships with genuinely local expertise. Our team has walked the streets of Hammersmith. We know which streets fall within conservation areas, where the emerging regeneration zones are, what LBHF planning officers are looking for, and which types of development the local market is rewarding. When we present your project to lenders, we can articulate not just the numbers but the story — the local demand drivers, comparable sales evidence from nearby streets, and the planning context that gives lenders confidence in your scheme. This is why our approval rates consistently exceed the industry average, and why our clients return to us project after project.

Our Lender Panel
Access to the right lender can make or break a development project. A lender who understands your type of scheme, is comfortable with the location, and can move at the speed you need is worth far more than the cheapest headline rate. That is why we have invested years in building and maintaining relationships with over 100 specialist development finance providers.
Our panel covers every type of lender in the market, from traditional high street banks offering the most competitive rates for lower-risk schemes, through to specialist development lenders who can stretch on leverage, family offices who take a more commercial view on unusual projects, and institutional investors who can write larger tickets for significant schemes. This breadth means that whatever your project — whether it is a straightforward refurbishment or a complex mixed-use ground-up development — we can identify lenders who are genuinely well-suited to your specific requirements.
Relationships That Deliver Results
Our lender relationships go beyond a name in a directory. We know the credit appetite, turnaround times, and preferred project types of every lender on our panel. When we present your Hammersmith development project, we know exactly which lenders will compete for it — and that competition drives better terms for you.
