Development Funding

Our property finance solicitors act for individuals and companies borrowing money secured against property assets, whether this is to fund the acquisition of a property or to allow the redevelopment of a property.

Our solicitors are extremely experienced in dealing with the requirements of banks and other companies or individuals involved in property finance.

We also act for private lenders seeking to secure their investment against property.

We take a commercial, pragmatic approach to property finance transactions, making the process as seamless and pain-free as possible.

We can provide legal advice with regarding all aspects of property finance including:

• advising on the loan documentation from the bank or finance institution
• reporting to the lender on the title to the property
• putting in place the appropriate security including a legal charge, debenture, personal guarantee, cross company guarantee, or third party security where appropriate
• dealing with more complex finance structures whereby the lender takes an equity stake in a particular project

Our wealth of legal experience in residential development has helped us build a large team of 20 legal professionals. 

Our solicitors take pride in their work. We strive to achieve the best outcome for our clients adopting the most cost-effective solution. 

We provide clear legal advice tailored to your requirements to ensure that you receive a bespoke service. We know that every scenario will be different - so we don't try to use a 'one-size fits all' approach.
