A One-Day Briefing
The Art of
Developing
Apartments

‘’The problem with apartments, unlike houses, is that you can’t build them one at a time. That makes the bet bigger, the development more protracted and the margins of risk wider.’’
Malcolm Harris, Bovis Homes Group plc

This is a briefing on how to minimise risks and maximise profits in apartment development. It covers what is different about developing apartments, WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE, but more importantly WHAT THE SOLUTIONS ARE.

It covers:

  • Development appraisals and residual valuations – getting the figures right in the first place
  • Planning consents, planning obligations and profit
  • Selection and operation of development, construction and consultant agreements
  • New build and regeneration
  • Solving the problems of rights, easements and restrictive covenants
  • Getting the spec right – current thinking on what is wanted
  • Cost management of apartment development
  • Financing: terms, sources and conditions
  • Ensuring attractive mortgage funding for the buyers
  • Lease terms and management structures to maximise value
  • The art of marketing apartments and disposal strategies that maximise the final profit

Essential for all residential developers, their agents and advisors, funders, contractors, architects and planners.

Full documentation will be made available to all delegates and adequate time set aside for questions.
