At first contact
Tell us about the property

We assess the opportunity
We look at the property itself and give you an honest read on where it sits, including when it does not work.
Before drawdown
We structure the finance
Terms are shaped around the project and its exit, rather than forced through a fixed product template.

You move forward
Straightforward cases can complete within two weeks of application, and you get on with the property.
Why use the Deal Checker Service?
Independent perspective
A professional valuation can provide an independent view of the property's value and help you sense-check your project assumptions.
Valuation for lending purposes
The valuation is instructed for a lender rather than solely for the property owner or developer, providing a different perspective from a valuation commissioned for your own purposes.
Useful beyond the initial project
Where appropriate, valuations may be capable of being re-addressed to a lender you subsequently choose, subject to that lender's requirements and acceptance.
Open to everyone
You don't need to borrow from BDK Finance or be a client of Bond Finance to use the Deal Checker Service.
Why use BDK for the valuation?
Even experienced property professionals can benefit from having an independent RICS valuation carried out for lending purposes.
A valuation commissioned by a property owner or developer may not be accepted by a lender because of potential conflicts of interest or because it does not meet the lender’s specific requirements.
By instructing a valuation through BDK, you can obtain a report prepared for a lender, potentially giving you useful information to consider when assessing your project and future funding requirements.
If you already have a particular lender in mind, we can discuss their requirements when considering the valuation instruction. Acceptance of any valuation remains subject to the individual lender’s criteria.
More than just a loan
Building relationships for the long term.
BDK Finance won’t be the right funding solution for every property project and we recognise that you may only need short-term finance occasionally.
Our aim is to build long-term relationships with property professionals and to be useful even when BDK isn’t ultimately the lender.
The Deal Checker Service is one way to get to know the team, understand how we work and access a valuation that may be useful when considering your project’s funding requirements.
BDK Finance and Bond Finance are closely connected, with the same experienced team behind both businesses.
DEAL CHECKER SERVICE
Check the numbers before you commit.
You don’t need to be a Bond Finance client to use the BDK Deal Checker Service.
If you’re considering a property purchase, development, refurbishment or conversion, the Deal Checker Service gives you the opportunity to have a RICS valuation instructed through BDK.
BDK works with VAS Panel to arrange valuations from RICS-qualified surveyors. The valuation can provide an independent sense-check of the figures you’re working with before or during your project.
