Understand The Deal Before You Risk Your Money
A two-day intensive for emerging developers ready to take on larger property projects.
The Property Development Mastermind shows you how professional developers appraise sites, structure finance, navigate planning and take projects from acquisition through to exit. Designed for people ready to pursue larger, more profitable developments, whether you have completed flips or refurbishments, built a small portfolio or have capital ready to use.
Created by Property Developer & Entrepreneur, Paresh Chandegra.
WHAT IS THE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT MASTERMIND?
TWO DAY IN-PERSON PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT MASTERMIND
What’s included?
Seven connected modules delivered in a two-day mastermind intensive.
Each session answers a different commercial question. You’ll leave understanding how to take an opportunity from initial appraisal through finance, planning, acquisition and delivery to sale, refinance or long-term hold.
Find Commercial-to-Residential Opportunities
Learn what developers look for when identifying commercial buildings with potential for residential conversion, including the characteristics that can make one opportunity more attractive than another.
Know When A Deal Stacks Up
Learn how to appraise a potential development before committing your capital. Work through the key figures, costs and risks that determine whether an opportunity is commercially viable.
Understand Planning & Permitted Development
Understand the different planning routes available when converting commercial property to residential use, where permitted development may apply and what can affect the development potential of a site.
Make Your Capital Go Further
See how developers finance larger projects using development finance, investor capital and joint ventures, so your ambitions are not limited by the cash you can contribute alone.
Secure The Site On The Right Terms
Understand the questions to ask before acquiring a site and how developers use negotiation, deal structures and commercial terms to protect their position before committing to a purchase.
Plan Your Build, Delivery & Exit
Learn how to approach the transition from acquisition to development, including building the right professional team, managing the project and choosing an exit strategy that makes commercial sense.
Learn From Real Development Projects
Go behind the numbers of Paresh's own projects. See how he has assessed, funded and progressed developments, including the decisions, challenges and changes made along the way.
You’ll leave with Paresh’s Development Appraisal Template and practical takeaway guides from Paresh and planning consultant Lewis Westhoff, giving you a clear starting point for assessing your next opportunity.

This is not a large property seminar. It is an intensive working day with Paresh, created for a small group of emerging developers who want to understand how larger projects are assessed, structured and delivered.
Across seven connected sessions, Paresh will take you through the decisions behind a development, from choosing the right strategy and finding an opportunity to planning, finance, construction and exit.
You will see how those decisions play out across real projects, hear current planning insight from expert Lewis Westhoff, and have the opportunity to raise your own questions throughout the day.
Attendance is strictly limited, giving every attendee closer access to Paresh, the guest speakers and the discussions taking place in the room.
Mastermind Graduates
Your Question Answered Here
-
Yes. You do not need to have completed a development before attending. The Mastermind is designed to help you understand how developers find, assess, finance and deliver larger property opportunities.
Experience in property, business, construction, finance or another professional field may give you a useful starting point, but it is not essential.
-
No. Attendees may range from people exploring their first development to investors, landlords and property professionals looking to move into larger or more complex projects.
The application process helps Paresh ensure the day is relevant to your current experience and goals.
-
Yes. You will learn how to compare different development strategies, assess opportunities and consider the experience, finance and professional support each type of project may require.
The aim is to help you identify an appropriate route into development rather than pursue a project that is too complex for your current position.
-
The Mastermind is intentionally limited to a small number of attendees, maximum 6-10 people depending on venue. This allows time for questions, discussion and more focused interaction with Paresh and the guest experts.
-
Yes. Paresh will use examples from property development to show how experienced developers examine costs, finance, risk and potential returns.
Some commercially sensitive information may be adapted or anonymised, but the focus will remain on the figures and decisions that shape a viable development.
-
The Mastermind is not a private deal-assessment or consultancy service. However, there will be opportunities to discuss deals, ask questions and apply the principles covered during the day.
If you have a particular opportunity in mind, include the details in your application so the team can understand what you are currently working on.
-
There is no single figure. The amount required depends on the project, purchase structure, finance available, professional fees, construction costs and contingency needed.
The Mastermind will explain how developers approach funding and assess whether a potential project is realistic, but it does not provide finance or guarantee that funding will be available.
-
Paresh and his team will review your application and, if the Mastermind appears suitable, invite you to a short introduction call.
If you decide to continue, you will receive the Mastermind terms and payment details. Your place is confirmed once you have accepted the terms and completed payment.
-
For Paresh, teaching is a new entrepreneurial challenge, not an alternative to property development. He enjoys turning the lessons from his own journey into practical guidance, creating valuable content and building relationships with ambitious people across the industry.
The Mastermind gives him an opportunity to share what he has learned while helping others make progress on a development journey of their own.
Satisfaction
Guarantee
Attend the morning. Judge the value for yourself.
The Mastermind is designed to deliver value from start to finish. Attend the morning training. If you decide before the stated lunchtime cut-off that the day is not delivering what was promised, tell the team before the afternoon session begins and your registration fee will be refunded in full.
The guarantee applies to registered attendees who are present for the full morning session and follow the refund process explained on the day.
You Do NOT Need Property Experience
You might have completed a flip or refurbishment, built a small portfolio or be approaching property with capital and valuable professional experience.
What matters is not how many developments you have already completed. It is whether you are serious about learning how larger projects work, prepared to start at the right level and ready to build your track record properly.
Is This the Right Mastermind for You?
This is practical education for people who want to understand how development works and take responsibility for the decisions they make next.
It may not be the right fit if you are:
Looking for guaranteed returns or a shortcut around the risks of property development.
Expecting Paresh to find, fund or make decisions on a deal on your behalf.
Set on pursuing a large scheme before you have the resources or track record to support it.
Unwilling to begin with a smaller opportunity when that makes better commercial sense.
