What is
LDS Boost?
We decided to create LDS Boost based on dealing with SME housebuilders, their lenders and finance brokers.
Through this magazine, we can help fill those gaps in expertise, trigger ideas and start to form connections for more new homes.
It is our sole focus at LDS to support SME housebuilders in bringing forward much needed new housing.
Our Sales Guarantee and bespoke lender products are a major part of that, but there is a lot more we can and will be doing.
LDS Boost aims to bring relevant knowledge, resources and contacts to the attention of SMEs. We believe that the better informed and resourced a developer is, the more confidence and ability they will hold to bring forward increased supply.
Boost is fully funded by LDS and it’s our intention to carry no advertising and only bring you topical contributions from across the industry.
We will adapt each edition to market conditions and feedback, so please let us know what you think and would like to read about in future. And if you have content that the market needs to hear, then we would love to hear from you.
