Business Strategy
The project types that Godwin will consider for investment are develop out, planning gain, refurbishment and strategic land purchases.
The business has investment criteria including a target return for each project type against which each opportunity is assessed when determining which ones to pursue and invest resources in.
All opportunities will be evaluated for their investment or resale potential. The decision to hold for investment or resale at any point in time will be influenced by a number of factors including the financing structure, judgement on timing of disposal to maximise return, the opportunity cost of holding and economic factors such as the general economic environment, interest rates and investment demand.
Godwin, along with its partners, has the experience, knowledge and expertise to deliver the full property development lifecycle for customers from site identification through to development and asset management.
Godwin is proud of its track record in never having failed to secure planning permission for a site. This is the result of the level of due diligence undertaken on every opportunity and the relationships built with the planning departments before deciding to invest.
