Hi Sam!
I met you at David Lawrenson’s event last night! Just wanted to say thanks for the great tips and opinions.
Love the blog, keep up the good work!
All the best for the future.
Martin
P.s. I’ve just pre-ordered the book on Amazon. Spring 2014…!!! Well, at least it gives me time to save my £15k!
Sam
Thanks Martin, was a pleasure to meet you as well. I look forward to hearing more about your property adventures 🙂

Hi,
Happily, I have just come across your blog…perfect for me as I am currently weighing up the pros and cons on whether a renovation property stacks up as my first proper commercial development. I think it does but am struggling to make sense of where to get finance. I have 30% deposit. Have you done any posts on this subject?, or are you planning to do any? I did think of a buy to let and build the early repayment charge into my costs…it still stacks up quite well….but not sure a bank would allow this as it wouldn’t be occupied due to renovations….
I love your blog, and look forward to getting well and truly stuck into it….hope I can emulate some of your success!
Jane

Thanks Jane I am pleased you like the blog.
I wrote this post a while ago – don’t know if much help? https://whatsamsawtoday.com.c75f51a0e536f45b54ba4ec0be709a85-17034.sites.k-hosting.co.uk/2010/11/17/how-to-raise-finance-for-a-property-development/
Will add your idea to my future post list to look at in more detail.
I would also say to add to the article above, in recent times, the cost of bridging finance has become more affordable and this may be worth looking into? I have not used this myself, however the key thing I do know, is that you should never start a bridge loan without knowing what your exit plan is.
I am not a finance specialist which is why I advise always seeking the expert advice of a broker (this is something I do myself).
Jane Thorpe
Thanks for this. I will seek professional advice as you suggest
