Whilst development continues to attract conflicting opinions, very few would dispute the role that planning and development has in delivering economic prosperity to a region. Fundamental to this is the financial performance of the development scheme itself, an aspect that is often given insufficient consideration.
A well planned and executed development should deliver an acceptable level of return to the developer and secure a range of benefits for the local community which might include financial contributions under a Section 106 Agreement.
Appraising the viability of a development scheme or project requires a detailed understanding of both the planning and valuation aspects. With its detailed knowledge of the market and the planning policy framework the team at Kirkby and Diamond Chartered Surveyors is able to advise on the optimum development mix and procurement strategy. The team's expertise in this area is second to none and the input of planners and the building surveyors in preparation of development appraisals ensures that a viable solution is found every time.
Developers value the input of the K & D team in preparing and submitting offers and as a means of reducing risk, pre-acquisition. K & D’s input is also respected by many of the major lending institutions. Lending managers have confirmed that the requests for funding backed up by a K & D appraisal are more likely to be given favourable consideration.
The range of skills and experience available within Kirkby and Diamond make it the obvious choice for clients that are new to development and for those that wish to scale up the size and value of the projects being undertaken. The delivery of cost effective solutions is fundamental to the success of K & D’s business and the businesses it serves.
