Caroline Claydon is joined by Kenny Campbell of Breadalbane Finance, to discuss development finance, quantity surveying, what we need to look at from an investors point of view, and what the lenders look at and expect from us.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There's no denying that times are difficult right now, and lenders and investors are twitchy and unsure. This doesn't mean that there isn't activity or opportunities to be had.
• Construction costs are rising and profit margins are being squeezed. If people own sites for development, they are in many cases being left to see what the market will do in six months' time.
• Nee developers who have done projects in the past are now looking to level up. This means that risks need to be mitigated, teams need to be built, and minimise risks in order to give yourself the best chance of getting finance.
• Just because you have finance at your fingertips doesn't mean you should snatch it and hope for the best. Look carefully at the numbers and make sure they work for you in the long term.

 BEST MOMENTS

'We're in a trough that's only matched by 2008'

'A lot of people are planning and designing small projects'

'As long as there is profitability to be had, things are moving forwards!'

'There's a big psychology thing there, where people have finance in their grasp and just want to press that button'
