'a commitment to maintain economic viability'

development appraisals

any property development needs to show a healthy profit to justify the risk inherent in the project, and our development appraisals are provided to quantify the profit against various measures.

by taking an overview of all the key elements of development we can provide the financial information to measure the effect of any change to the key inputs.

we provide development appraisals for plc house builders, commercial developers, housing associations and local authorities, analysing development proposals and providing empirical answers to some of the following issues:

• is the development mix proposed the most profitable?
• how much affordable housing can the development support?
• how is profitability affected by increasing finance charges?
• will an improved and more expensive specification generate increased values, and if so will the changes increase profit?
• what is the financial effect of a delay in the construction?
• how sensitive is the profit return to changes to the key inputs?
• What is the value of the site with the benefit of a specific planning permission?

the appraisal model is capable of providing the solutions to these and other key development problems, and will also provide full cash-flow modelling and sensitivity analysis to each scenario.
