Goldentree Financial Services has appointed DPT Monitoring Surveyors on a fifth development finance scheme, taking the total value of projects monitored since summer 2025 to £4.1m.
The latest instruction covers due diligence and ongoing monitoring across a series of residential sites in England and Wales, comprising 10 houses with a total of 34 bedrooms.
The appointment continues a relationship first announced last summer, with Goldentree again commissioning detailed due diligence and monitoring reports to support its lending decisions. Due diligence assessments include programme reviews alongside cost and cashflow analysis, followed by monitoring reports providing updates before funds are released.
Goldentree Financial Services, a short-term property lender based in Warrington, has used its development finance product across all five projects completed with DPT Monitoring Surveyors to date. The lender also operates in the bridging and refurbishment markets.
Phil Derbyshire, managing director at Goldentree Financial Services, said: “In development finance, the ability to rely on clear, accurate reporting is critical and DPT have consistently delivered that.
“Their diligence and structured approach have supported our lending decisions across several projects and we look forward to strengthening this partnership as we continue to fund new developments.”
Tim Coulston (pictured), managing director of DPT Monitoring Surveyors, said: “Risk mitigation is the most important factor in development finance lending because ultimately there are so many live elements that could affect a development’s outcome before, during or even after a project is completed.
“This is where we come in. We pride ourselves on accurate reporting methods and strict quality control standards so lenders are confident in their decision-making processes. Having proven our credentials with Goldentree, we hope this relationship will last many years.”
DPT Monitoring Surveyors specialises in financial monitoring services for property lenders across the UK, ensuring funds are deployed as intended and projects progress in line with agreed plans.
The firm provides asset management, initial and progress reporting, monitoring reports, desktop auditing, tailored reporting and report auditing for new build and refurbishment schemes across residential, semi-commercial, commercial, student accommodation and HMO sectors.
