About this event
The Government are telling developers to ‘build, build, build’ however but there are a number of practical and economic financial issues for developers to consider. In a time when the funding market is ever-changing, there is uncertainty regarding property prices and supply chain issues around building materials, and the planning process is complicated, protracted and full of pitfalls, developers have an ever greater number of considerations regarding structuring and financing developments. Increasingly we are seeing collaboration between those involved in property to share the risk and rewards associated with property development.
This seminar, featuring 4 expert speakers, will cover a range of topics that will greatly interest for property investors, property developers and professionals associated with the property industry, including architects, surveyors and builders to consider.
Thise seminar combines the opportunity to attend either a face-to-face seminar in Leeds city centre (subject to capacity limits) or the ability to watch the seminar live online. For those in personal attendance, there will be an opportunity to network with other property professionals to forge new relationships and business opportunities.
