Property Development Processes

How We Work

How Does It All Work?

Have you ever wondered about property development processes? In other words,  how it all works? We’ve created this page as a basic guide to how we work as a business. JLH Homes wants you to be comfortable with timelines, financial structures, your return on investment and so on. However, it’s impossible to be precise. Why? Because every deal is bespoke and will be put together to reflect, among other aspects, your:

  • Goals
  • Circumstances
  • Amount of funds invested
  • Time frames
  • Whether the property is to be sold or rented out
  • Size and scope of the project
  • Attitude to risk

Regarding timescales and ROI: Typically, properties under 500 sq metres involve a start-to-exit timeline of approximately 12 months. Those over 500 sq metres: 18-24 months. 2000 sq metre + projects offer substantial long-term value that’s worth the wait: 24-36 months. Which options will suit you best? Don’t sit and wonder. Get in touch to find out more.

Due Diligence

To minimise risk and increase the chance of a successful development project, there’s some painstaking work to do beforehand. Property development processes need to be scrupulous. So, I’m continuously working with my specialist network, drawing on their expertise before and during the project.

JLH carries out in-depth due diligence: surveys, checking legal requirements, titles, understanding the market conditions, the financial aspects and so on.

Customised Financial Structures

Are you looking for a more traditional investment method? Or, something more innovative? Taking direct ownership of the deal, we offer a broad range of investment opportunities, structuring each one with a mix of private (investor) and development finance:

An agreed profit margin on a secured or non-secured loan: this will be loan to debt finance as required – with or without a specialist first-charge contract.

Flexible equity-basis agreements, including where appropriate an agreed Joint Venture Special Purchase Vehicle (JPV) for the development project. Here, you’ll have a stake in the property.

Generally, your larger capital contribution could be more profitable, as it’s likely to offer higher returns.

Flexible Exit Strategies

I’ll create and lead each project to allow for “wiggle room”, otherwise known as shifts in the market to ensure a positive potential resale or rental value.

Think About…

How you feel about risk.

And then – your medium to longer-term goals.

This is property development with a heart and soul.

Let’s go for the win-win.
