The earlier finance becomes part of the conversation, the more opportunity there is to shape a project with funding in mind.

That means looking at the numbers, structure, costs, timescales and exit strategy before key decisions are made, rather than simply approaching lenders once funding is required.

At Cator Wells, we work alongside developers from the early stages of a project, helping identify potential issues, understand lender requirements and structure the finance accordingly.

Early preparation can make a significant difference to the options available later.

Property finance can involve a number of moving parts, and making sure clients understand what is required and why is an important part of the service we provide.

Thank you to Simon for the feedback and for trusting Cator Wells with his future finance requirements.

Property finance should be structured around the project, not the other way around.
Every development has different requirements, from the level of funding required and the structure of the deal through to timescales and the proposed exit.

At Cator Wells, we work with developers and property owners to understand the project, assess the options available and structure the right finance for their requirements.

From development and bridging finance through to commercial mortgages and second charge lending, our focus is on finding the most appropriate route for each transaction.

If you have a project you’re considering, speak to us early.

Lenders will look closely at the assumptions behind the numbers, the proposed structure, the experience of the professional team and how the loan will ultimately be repaid.

The clearer and more robust those elements are, the easier it is for a lender to properly assess the opportunity.

At Cator Wells, we work with clients to review these areas and position the project appropriately before approaching lenders.

If you’re preparing a project for funding, speak to us early.

Every development has its own funding requirements.

From new-build schemes and commercial conversions to refurbishment projects, the right finance needs to reflect the project, the numbers, the borrower and the proposed exit.

At Cator Wells, we work with developers to understand the opportunity and structure finance around the requirements of the scheme, comparing options across a wide range of lenders.

If you’re planning a development or considering your next acquisition, speak to us about the funding options available.

In a more selective lending market, preparation becomes increasingly important.

Lenders are still actively funding property projects, but greater attention is being paid to the detail behind each opportunity, the numbers, structure, sensitivity to changing conditions and the proposed exit.

A well-prepared project gives lenders a clearer understanding of the risk and can open up a wider range of funding options.

At Cator Wells, we work with clients to review and position projects properly before approaching the market, helping identify the most appropriate funding route from the outset.

If you’re considering a project, speak to us early.

Clients come to Cator Wells for more than access to lenders.

Our role is to understand the project, challenge the structure where necessary and make sure the opportunity is presented properly before it goes to market.

Once a funding route is agreed, we remain involved throughout the process, working with the client, lender and wider professional team through to completion.

That combination of experience, preparation and ongoing involvement is how we help clients achieve the right funding outcome.

If you have a project you would like to discuss, get in touch.

Finance should ideally form part of the conversation before a project is acquired.

Considering the funding position while assessing an opportunity can help establish how lenders are likely to view the project, how the facility may need to be structured and whether the proposed numbers and exit strategy work.

Finance can, of course, still be arranged later in the project. However, earlier involvement gives more opportunity to shape the funding strategy around the project rather than working backwards once key decisions have already been made.

At Cator Wells, we work with clients from the early stages of a project through to completion.

If you’re assessing an opportunity or considering an acquisition, speak to us early.

Experience is important, but it is only one part of how a lender will assess a project.
The strength of the financials, the proposed structure, the professional team and the route to exit all contribute to the overall lending decision.

Considering these points early allows potential issues to be identified and the proposition to be properly prepared before it is presented to lenders.

At Cator Wells, we work with clients from the outset to help structure and position projects appropriately for the funding market.

Speak to us early about your next project.
