FINANCIAL VIABILITY APPRAISAL

The cost of development and viability is an integral part of the planning process. Policy compliant affordable housing targets provide a challenge to viability in development schemes. Our team have experience in advising upon construction cost – a key component of a financial viability appraisal.

Our Clients include property development companies, housebuilders and valuation consultants. We also act for Local Authorities advising upon construction costs as part of the Viability Appraisal which places us in an ideal position to understand the challenges from both perspectives.
We can help developers achieve a viable solution and assist local authorities in achieving the correct provision of affordable housing for a particular scheme.
