DPT Monitoring Surveyors and Goldentree hit high-five

07 January 2026

Fifth Due Diligence & Monitoring Report project hits £4.1m in total managed funds

Goldentree Financial Services has appointed DPT Monitoring Surveyors on a fifth development project, representing £4.1m in total funds managed-to-date since the companies announced their partnership in summer 2025.

The lender has requested Due Diligence & Monitoring Reports on residential sites in England and Wales covering 10 houses comprising 34 bedrooms.

Due Diligence is an in-depth risk assessment including a detailed programme review encompassing extensive cost and cashflow analysis which assist a lending decision, after which Monitoring provides a comprehensive update to all elements prior to releasing funds.

Goldentree Financial Services, a flexible short-term property lender based in Warrington, has used its Development Finance product across the five new projects. The business also offers Bridging and Refurbishment products.

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, managing director of DPT Monitoring Surveyors, added:

“Risk mitigation is the most important factor in development finance lending because ultimately there are so many live elements that could affect a developments’ 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 impeccable credentials with Goldentree, we hope this relationship will last many years.”

DPT Monitoring Surveyors specialise in financial monitoring across the UK on behalf of property lenders, ensuring funds are used correctly, projects are progressing as planned and the provider's financial interests are protected.

The business provides Asset Management, Initial Reports, Progress Reports, Monitoring Reports, Desktop Auditing, Tailored Reports and Report Auditing for new developments and refurbishment projects across residential, semi-commercial, commercial, student accommodation and HMOs.
