An expert team advising on all aspects of real estate finance
Drawing on our understanding of the needs of both borrowers and lenders, we are able to suggest innovative lending structures and mechanisms, and advise on the acquisition of loan portfolios and participation in loan arrangements written by other lenders - a market that has developed as a result of concerted efforts by sole lenders to reduce their exposures.
With the increasingly complex nature of many transactions, which often involve offshore elements, our clients benefit from the expertise of other specialist teams in real estate, such as real estate investment, investment funds and planning, as well as the firm’s broader expertise in tax, corporate and construction. However, regardless of the complexity, our focus is always on delivering commercial solutions as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Our experience in real estate finance includes transactions on single and multi-let investments, development and redevelopment opportunities and the corporate structured investment vehicles that are carrying out such projects. We have acted on deals in the healthcare, hotels and student accommodation sectors.
We can cater to all of our clients’ real estate needs because of the depth of our wider real estate practice. This includes other specialist teams, such as real estate investment, investment funds and planning, as well as the firm’s broader expertise in tax, corporate and construction.
