“Having experience on both sides of a deal affords me a deeper understanding when it comes to taking a sensible approach and a more commercial view of the risks involved.”

Steve Larkin, managing director of development finance at LendInvest, said: “As more investors look to development finance as an opportunity amid the undersupply of new home construction, it’s an exciting time for the industry in England, Scotland and Wales.

“Dan brings with him deep market knowledge as a lender as well as a developer; his insights and ambition will help support our SME developers as they navigate a dynamic market.”
