In this episode of the Property Developers Playbook, Kieron and Jonathan dive into a Q&A format, addressing key questions from their listeners about property development. They discuss the importance of contingencies in development finance, emphasising the need for a reserve fund to cover unforeseen costs. KEY TAKEAWAYS Contingency Planning: Developers should factor in a contingency of 10% for build costs to cover unforeseen expenses. This reserve acts as a safety net for unexpected costs or changes during the development process. Importance of Neighbour Relations: Building good relationships with neighbours is crucial in property development. Early communication, such as introducing oneself and providing contact information, can help mitigate complaints and foster a cooperative environment. Retention in Contracts: Developers typically hold back a percentage (usually around 3-5%) of payments to contractors as retention. This serves as a safeguard to ensure that any issues or incomplete work can be addressed after practical completion. BEST MOMENTS "Typically 5-10% of whatever your build costs are, more on the 10% side. I think the 5% days are long gone." "You should always start from day one building that relationship with your neighbours. It's all about relationships." "If contingencies aren't enough that you've allowed for and things are still going over, you've got to value engineer it always anyway."
