USEFUL TO KNOW

Your questions,
answered.

How is development finance assessed?

Lenders typically consider the project costs, gross development value, planning position, your experience, the location, the timeline, the security and the overall risk. We help you present the case clearly.

Do you work with first-time developers?

Experience is considered alongside the project, professional team and delivery plan. Tell us about your background so we can consider the circumstances.

What is GDV?

Gross Development Value is the estimated value of the completed project. It is a key factor in how development lending is structured.

Are there fees?

Any fees would be discussed and agreed upfront before you proceed. The initial conversation is no obligation.
