The Residential Development Underwrite is a new, time-limited, Government initiative to help the residential construction sector recover from the effects of the downturn. It will help maintain capacity in the sector, help grow housing supply and support developments to be ready for when buyers return to the market as the economy recovers. An underwrite is an effective tool to encourage more building activity, where the finance is provided by banks and other lenders.
The RDU acts as the pre-sales needed for residential developers to secure development finance for consented, costed and ready-to-commence projects. HUD is inviting applications from experienced residential developers who can maintain construction pipelines for residential developments but need an underwrite on some of the houses to help confirm financing. The RDU will only be approved for developments that deliver significant housing supply, matched for that location and are at low risk and cost to the Crown.
