Our team is a multi-disciplinary group of experts with wide-ranging experience of working with UK and overseas banks and specialist non-bank lenders, as well as with institutional and other investors, developers, construction contractors, public authorities and housing providers on all types of development financing whether that finance is for building a new property, refurbishing an existing one or creating new places.

We are particularly well known for our work in the build to rent, hotels and affordable housing sectors.

We act for both borrowers and lenders financing (both conventionally and Islamically) all types of commercial and residential property from homes to hotels, student accommodation to shops and sheds, retirement villages to office to residential conversions.
