Property development can deliver high annual returns, but how do you navigate the high-risk, high-reward world of development investing?

Host Damian Collins continues the Property Investing Roadmap podcast with step seven of his proven nine-step framework: Property development – a high return strategy. Joined by Phillip Anderson, Head of Development at Westbridge Funds Management, they explore how development can accelerate wealth creation whilst examining the significant risks that come with potentially superior returns.

What you'll learn:

  • Why development should only represent around 10% of your investment portfolio
  • Three critical areas developers must master: market understanding, project numbers, and council regulations
  • Why partnering with expert teams is crucial for managing development complexity
  • How to assess if a development will suit the local market using data and local knowledge
  • Key financial calculations including profit margins and annualised returns
  • Navigating the complex council approval process and dealing with community opposition
  • Strategic acquisition opportunities where combined properties are worth more than individual values
  • How to add value through planning approvals and rezoning without laying a brick
  • Main development risks and safety nets to protect your investment
