Meet Rachel

I am experienced in acting on a full range of real estate finance transactions.  I also have a wealth of experience in managing high-value refinances of property and property portfolios.

My clients include a broad range of borrowers and lenders – from individuals to high-street banks and bespoke private funding platforms – all of whom trust me for my ability to work efficiently within tight timescales and to drive deals over the line at pace.

Always relishing a challenge, I like to get to grips with the details of each matter and the needs of each party to ensure a successful outcome is achieved for everyone involved.

I am proud to be the firm's lead on our Women in Real Estate Finance (WREF) initiative, which seeks to bring together bright female leaders in real estate finance, celebrate their successes and provide them with the tools needed to flourish in the industry.

Outside of work, I spend my time looking after my twin girls, and also enjoy boxing and lifting weights.
