After taking a two month break over the summer it was great to be back with The Developers Network Manchester family. The room was packed in anticipation of the fantastic panel of experts we had contributing to the evening.
Before the experts did their thing, Shane and Jonathan brought everyone up to speed on their development of 16 luxury apartments in Urmston. The strip out and demolition progressed well, and the underpinning is well underway.
As a taster to the main event the expert panel answered the most common questions put to them about the field of expertise.
Stuart Vendy of Veritas Planning answered: “How long will it take to get my planning decision through from the council?”
Scott Marshall of Roma Finance answered : “What’s your view on what interest rates will do over the next few months/years?”
John Shevlane of Pilot Fish answered: “how does my experience affect my lending opportunities in terms of rates, leverage, deal size?
Andi Cooke of White Box Property Solutions & Red Box Construction answered: “How can you become a property developer with little or no construction experience?”
Lloyd Girardi of White Box Property Solutions answered the question: “How can I fund a development with none of my own money?”
After a networking session where great connections were made and drinks were enjoyed at the bar, the expert panel returned to the front to answer questions from the audience.
