In Episode 202 of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Saxton and Bob Andersen revisit the most important points from their recent live lunchtime event on property development finance.

This episode is a must-listen if you're unclear about how development finance works, who lends the money, and how to structure deals for approval.
