Real estate finance


Within our banking and finance practice, we have a team of specialist real estate finance lawyers who combine their real estate and banking knowledge to provide a seamless service. 

Our real estate finance specialists spend 100% of their time advising on all real estate financing related matters. We deal with all aspects of real estate investment and development including infrastructure finance. We oversee the whole transaction advising on the finance documentation as well as overseeing or undertaking real estate due diligence on behalf of either lender or borrower clients. Our team also advises public sector bodies on grants and loans and real estate investors on structuring their transactions in a way that will be acceptable to a future lender.

Our experience


Our specialist real estate finance lawyers understand the underlying real estate issues and can translate that knowledge into negotiating finance documents that actually work for you and your business.
We're a trusted adviser to a London and Luxembourg based debt fund and have successfully advised them on over £500 million of loans secured on real estate investment properties.

We advise a number of national and regional developers in the negotiation of development finance loans made by either mainstream lenders or public sector bodies.

Our team have assisted on a number of healthcare financings in the last 12 months including the financing of the acqusition of a portfolio of carehomes from Bupa.

We're appointed to the main lending panels of most of the UK clearing banks as well as acting for a large range of other domestic and international lenders and debt funds.

Our advice also covers private placements secured on real estate and infrastructure funding to unlock future developments.

We also work with major international finance teams providing advice on UK aspects of real estate financing. 

Recent work includes acting for a Malaysian bank in the provision of financing for the acquisition of a high value student accommodation block in Manchester.
