    How property developers make deals stack in the 2020s

    Send us a text Most housing schemes don’t stack in this market.  Those that do get three things right. On the latest episode of @ The Return, @ Andy Garnett (CEO, Breck Homes) and @ Dale Parkinson (@ Lloyds Bank) shared what they’re seeing on schemes that actually work: - Buy smart - not late Secure land before planning (e.g. through options), or buy at a genuine discount when the timing is right (e.g. around budget changes) (For 20–30% margins vs 10% if you pay full “with planning” market price.) - Do more work upfront The best developers front-load the effort: constraints and layout, valuation feedback, historic issues, flood risk, plus sensitivities (rates, delays, costs). (All before the offer, to protect margins and avoid surprises later.) - Move fast and stand by your number In a slow market, sellers value certainty over a slightly higher price We also covered:  - Why relying on a single scheme is a silent killer for developers  - Where the best opportunities of this cycle might be Huge thanks to Andy and Dale for a rare, candid conversation - full of ideas you can apply tomorrow, not theory.
