Arranging bank finance for UK property development

Abstract

Illustrates the sharp increase in bank lending to UK property companies, which has occurred between 1985 and 1989. Considers some of the reasons, not all of which relate to the property market. Also examines the varying attitudes banks will have to different types of lending proposals, and this is expanded to look at the variety of roles which a bank may assume, be it as lender, arranger, or partner. Provides insights into how banks will analyse the risk inherent in any particular proposal. Finally, suggests how prospective borrowers might find a suitable bank and present their proposals.
