Lenders get criticised for being cautious, but sometimes they’re protecting you from a nightmare. In this clip from last night’s webinar with @thesamnorris (Grand Union Finance) we talk about a real situation: Chris' parents were buying a home and the developer passed away before the site completed. It’s a reminder that property projects can change overnight, and when they do, timelines, legals, warranties and delivery risk all come sharply into focus. If you’re doing commercial to residential conversions, this matters even more. These projects often involve tighter programmes, more moving parts, and more reliance on the right team and structure. The right lender questions aren’t “red tape” — they’re stress-testing whether the deal survives real life. The full episode is now available in the UK Homes Network app under On-Demand Webinars. Watch it back if you want a clearer view of how lenders assess conversion projects and how to package yours so it funds and completes cleanly.
