Real estate finance
Advisory service on commercial property funding and
secured lending for corporate and commercial bankers, including
financial institutions.
Freehold and leasehold property deals can generate profitable
business for the providers of finance, but only if the funding and
security arrangement are tied down effectively. Particularly with
larger schemes, there are risks and pitfalls that need to be
avoided if the full financial benefits are to be
achieved.

brings many years’ experience and finely tuned expertise to bear on
this important issue. Our specialist banking, property and
construction lawyers work closely with you on every aspect of a
property transaction, especially due diligence and the perfection
of your security.
