What are real estate developer loans?

Real estate developer loans are loans available to property developers. Therefore, it comes into play when a property developer spots a piece of land with significant potential but is short of funds to acquire it. In such a situation, the developer can simply obtain a loan to acquire and develop the property. Although property developers find it easy to obtain loans, it is often difficult for early developers. In reality, this is because they do not have a track record of successful development to earn the trust of loan givers.

What are the conditions for obtaining a real estate developer loan in Nigeria?

The governmental parastatal in charge of this loan is the Mass Housing Scheme (MHS), who is in partnership with the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria. Furthermore, the loan works like a double lease system, where the developer obtains lands and titles from the government and provides the necessary infrastructure. They then lease sub-lease this property to the ultimate beneficiaries (citizens).

Eligibility requirement for real estate developer loans in Nigeria

According to the official release, a developer must certify certain criteria. For a developer to qualify for any real estate loans, the developer must meet the following minimum requirements:

  1. The loan is for residential housing estate development only, at an interest rate of 10% per annum. Also, it has a maximum tenor of 24 months subject to revision.
  2. The Bank finance Infrastructural facilities (up to 70% for private developer only), while Housing Corporations and government owned development projects are to provide 100% infrastructure. Furthermore, the developer is expected to submit a financial plan and budget for the provision of infrastructure in the housing estate.
  3. The proposed estate must have a good title that can be sub-leased to individual allottees/purchasers of the housing units
  4. Housing units under the proposed project must fall within the target price not more than N5.0 million. This is so that they can be affordable to NHF contributor/buyers within the range of low-to medium-income earners. Also, these units shall be in line with the type plans specified by FMBN. In addition, the developer must finance units falling outside the target type plans.
  5. There must have been a firm commitment from buyers/allottees of the housing units. Therefore, for this purpose, a named accredited Primary Mortgage Institution is to be identified in order to facilitate the introduction of the project to prospective buyers/allottees who must be contributors to the National Housing Fund (NHF). Also, the associated PMI must confirm the relationship and forward a marketing plan for the disposal of the housing units.
  6. You must provide a financial projection to suit the proposed financial arrangement on the project. In addition, the projection must include developer’s equity participation on the project at the present rate of 10% p.a.
  7. The Security for the Loan is an acceptable Bank guarantee.
