I have listened to the Henry Stewart lunchtime Webinars and have found them very informative: in fact there was so much information, I have had to revisit to comprehend it all! A great way to increase your CPD over a lunch break.
Development Finance
- The opportunities and the appetite to lend - is it on the increase - more lenders, better terms, more flexibility and a larger range of acceptable projects
- Access to alternative funding for development projects - it's cheap to borrow but not always easy to locate
- Costs (sometimes hidden) associated with borrowing and typical Ts&Cs
- What do lenders offer and how the process works
- Working with suitable parties - be wary of the pitfalls - risks involved with commitments for forward purchase and contingent finance
- Joint venture agreements between developer, finance provider, other investors and asset owners - making the most of the relationship/'partnership'
