When To Walk Away From A Development Deal

Walking away from a property development deal can be incredibly difficult, especially after you have invested significant time, emotion, and money. However, pushing forward with a flawed project or hoping the market will miraculously save your margins is a recipe for disaster. In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson discuss exactly when and why you need to walk away from a deal. Drawing on real-life examples, including a "shonky" industrial site and a joint venture that didn't align with their values , they unpack the dangers of letting emotion override logic. You will learn why "cheap insurance" like flood reports can save you millions , why you must always calculate your feasibility on today's numbers , and how to ensure you always have a contractual "back door" exit strategy before committing.
