The wider assessment
Explain the project before circulating it
A useful brief covers site control, planning, costs, value, equity and the exit. It should identify the developer and professional team. Indicative terms can then be compared on net funding, conditions and drawdown timing.
An indicative lender response is not a binding commitment. Valuation, legal work and credit approval are still required.
