If you are a lender, we focus on advising you and protecting your position whilst efficiently processing your transactions. We represent mainstream banks and building societies, private banks, short term and bridging lenders, development funders, funds, family offices and private lenders.

If you are a borrower, we advise in detail as to your obligations and responsibilities and work with the lender’s representatives to ensure the loan and security terms are appropriate. We represent substantial commercial landowners, national and regional developers, property funds, businesses and individuals.
