Illustrative scenario 01Preparing a first lender brief
A developer wants to organise the appraisal and funding requirement before discussions.
Useful information for the conversation
- Site and planning information
- Appraisal and cash-flow schedule
The aim is to identify the questions and evidence that matter before making a commitment. A short outline is enough to begin; detailed records can follow through an agreed secure route.
Illustrative scenario 02A funding gap identified
A project needs costs, cash flow and equity reviewed together.
Useful information for the conversation
- Appraisal and cash-flow schedule
- Developer track record
The aim is to identify the questions and evidence that matter before making a commitment. A short outline is enough to begin; detailed records can follow through an agreed secure route.
Illustrative scenario 03Comparing indicative terms
A developer wants to understand net funding and conditions while recognising that credit approval remains outstanding.
Useful information for the conversation
- Developer track record
- Funding requirement and exit
The aim is to identify the questions and evidence that matter before making a commitment. A short outline is enough to begin; detailed records can follow through an agreed secure route.
Illustrative scenario 04Evidence focus: Explain the project before circulating it
A professional introducer wants to discuss finance support for developers. Two points need attention: site and planning information; appraisal and cash-flow schedule. A useful brief covers site control, planning, costs, value, equity and the exit. The evidence and the decision need to be considered together rather than in isolation.

Illustrative scenario 05Decision point: Developer track record
A professional introducer has started a conversation about finance support for developers, but the brief has changed. The review revisits two points: developer track record; funding requirement and exit. The next step is agreed using the updated facts, with any unresolved questions recorded.

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.
