Development Appraisals
A developer’s view before you commit
Development opportunities can appear compelling on paper while depending on assumptions that prove difficult to achieve in practice
Our assessments draw on first-hand experience acquiring, financing, procuring and delivering residential developments rather than relying solely on theoretical appraisal.
⸻
What we review
Depending on the scheme and information available, our review can consider:
- Gross development value and sales assumptions
- Construction cost assumptions
- Professional and statutory costs
- Finance and programme assumptions
- Planning and delivery risk
- Buildability and specification
- Procurement strategy
- Profit sensitivity
- Opportunities to improve the proposed scheme
The purpose is not to produce another set of numbers for its own sake. It is to identify where the appraisal is robust, where assumptions require further investigation and where commercial or delivery risk may have been underestimated.
⸻
Who we work with
Our appraisal work is typically undertaken for:
- Purchasers considering a development opportunity
- Investors seeking an independent commercial view
- Developers reviewing scheme viability
- Landowners considering the development potential of an existing asset
Reviews are concise, commercially focused and tailored to the decision being considered.
