As market growth becomes less certain, property development can manufacture equity, but getting site selection, feasibility, and construction risks right is critical. Here is what investors need to know.

On The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman is joined by Paul Maaskant, founder and CEO of National Property Investment Group, to explore how investors can manufacture equity through property development.

Maaskant explains how investors can add value through the development process, from identifying viable sites and navigating council requirements to managing construction and delivering the right product for the local market.

The pair discuss the importance of due diligence, with changes to planning rules creating new opportunities in some markets while rising construction costs continue to add pressure to development feasibility.

Maaskant also shares how investors can use experienced builders, consultants, and market data to manage development risks, while revealing the level of capital investors may need to bring to the table before taking on a project.
