Why bother doing site visits as a lender when you have valuers and QS's who'll do them for you? 🤔 Well I'll tell you the reasons I do them...... ✔ to build strong working relationships with borrowers so they come back to us ✔ to build trust (on both sides) ✔ to show that I'm genuinely interested in what they're doing, and trying to achieve ✔ to ask them what challenges they face & really listen to what they tell me ✔ to fully understand how @RomaFinance fit into the "bigger picture" ✔ and ensure the "reality" of property developing is understood by the wider team and as a business we do what we can to support them. Today I had the pleasure of taking Jason Metcalfe and Victoria Gregory on a site visit to meet a borrower they both deal with - sorting out his development loans and drawdown requests 💚 Although you can get a feel for a site and borrower through photos and telephone calls, nothing beats face to face meetings and site visits 👌 It was great to see the progress that's been made since my last visit in June - with a final big push to get one of the houses finished for new buyers next week 😮 4 sales pending - all off plan 🙌 💯 #propertydevelopment #housebuilding #buildinghomes #developmentfinance #relationshipsmatter #lovetolend
