Feasibility and appraisal often comprises the essential pre-requisite stage to the development process and provides a policy and evidence base upon which projects are subsequently designed and delivered. This process enhances the ability to best meet client’s requirements and for options to be explored and tested.
The feasibility stage provides the opportunity to robustly investigate means to deliver optimum property solutions.
Thomas Lister provides rigorous financial analysis for clients that informs strategic decisions and unlocks project delivery.

We prepare comprehensive financial viability assessments for planning applications, funding bids and investment decisions. Our assessments are robust, defensible and compliant with relevant policy and guidance, providing the evidence base needed to support development proposals and secure necessary approvals.
We develop detailed financial models to test viability, profitability, land value and public investment requirements. Our bespoke models incorporate development costs, market values, phasing assumptions and sensitivity analysis, providing clients with clear insights into project economics and risk profiles under different scenarios. Investment appraisals are also prepared to inform business planning and to establish the rate of return over longer term investments for individual or multiple property portfolios.
Our financial expertise supports grant funding applications by demonstrating funding gaps, evidencing value for money and justifying public sector investment. We prepare the financial evidence required for HIF, LGF, Towns Fund and other public funding programmes, ensuring applications meet funder requirements and maximise chances of success.
