As a letting agent and property developer, Nichola Hunter aged 32 enjoys refurbishing properties.
Progressing to a bigger project, building two, three bedroom properties in Keyingham, East Yorkshire, Nichola and her partner approached Welton based, Heritage Commercial Finance for funding, who introduced chartered surveyors, Delaney Marling Partnership (DMP)for the construction monitoring.
Kevin Marling from Beverley based DMP explains:
“As chartered building surveyors we monitor the progress of the development in order that they receive this type of financing.”
“Following each in a series of six site visits, our reports assured the finance company/lender that the works are fit for purpose and the funding can be drawn down for the developer.”
Nichola Hunter explains:
“The whole process took four years from start to finish but I am delighted to say that both properties are now let to happy tenants.”
“The most stressful part was the planning, but the build was seamless. DMP were brilliant, following each site visit they swiftly wrote their report, sent it to Heritage Commercial Finance and the money was in my bank within a few days so I could pay the builder.”
“Anyone considering a similar project should take advice from a chartered building surveyor at the very beginning to avoid delays. DMP were punctual and very thorough, with them you’re in safe hands and it helps to guarantee the success of your project.”
