LPA Receivers Grant Stanley have acted as Registered LPA Receivers on distressed assets for a variety of clients for more than 25 years. Appointing a Property or Fixed Charge Received is a cost-effective way of recovering a debt secured by a fixed charge.
• We are professionals with expertise in property management, finance and law. • We are duty bound to act in the best interests of the lender, working to maximize the recovery of debt through efficient management and eventual sale of the asset. • We will expedite the resolution process. The receiver has the authority to take immediate control of the property, bypassing the need for lengthy court proceedings. This allows the bank to take prompt action to protect its interests and recover the debt more efficiently. • We will act as independent third parties, this will ensure an objective approach to property management and debt recovery, reducing potential conflicts of interest and ensuring a fair and transparent process, instilling confidence in all parties involved. • We are typically paid from the proceeds of the asset sale or from the income generated by the property during their appointment. This means that the bank does not usually bear the cost of the receiver's services upfront. • Our expertise enables them to navigate intricate situations effectively, handle legal complexities, and manage challenging property portfolios more efficiently than the bank itself. Multiple properties, complex legal issues, or a history of non-compliance are all well within our capability.
