Discipline
Process
Origination
Direct relationships with developers, sponsors, brokers, and asset managers. Pipeline built through regional networks and long-standing local partners. No retail-style or auction-led sourcing.
Diligence
Independent RICS valuation, planning review, sponsor and asset verification. Title, environmental, and legal opinions on every loan. Conservative loan-to-value applied to the lower of valuation and cost.
Structure
First charge mortgage over the relevant asset. Conservative loan-to-value, defined exit, personal guarantees from sponsor principals where appropriate. Interest reserves built in for development positions.
Monitor
Drawdown discipline against verified construction or refurbishment progress. Regular site visits, exit and refinance tracking. Monthly progress reports on every development position.
