Development finance

Lenders have stringent funding criteria.  Property developers therefore need effective legal support to ensure that their finance is in place and that deadlines are met.  This can make the difference between completing the deal successfully and running into serious problems.

Drawing on a wealth of experience, we understand the importance of being proactive in moving a deal forward and putting funding in place without avoidable delay.  In property and development finance, we represent UK and overseas clients, including corporations, developers, building owners, lenders, contractors, consultants, as well as trusts and high and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

• Due diligence for lenders
• Debentures
