We advise borrowers, lenders, investors, property companies and businesses involved in transactions where property forms part of the funding or security arrangements.

Yes. We advise on refinancing transactions involving both individual assets and larger property portfolios.
This can include reviewing existing security, carrying out the property due diligence required by the new lender and coordinating the discharge of existing charges with the creation of new security.
Providing complete property information, existing finance documents and details of the lender’s requirements as early as possible can help reduce delays.
It is also important to identify any fixed completion or drawdown deadlines at the outset so that the legal work can be prioritised and potential issues addressed early.
