Secured lending

Recent figures indicate a considerable increase in owners and purchasers of commercial property obtaining funding from Banks and other financial institutions and the secured lending division of our Commercial Property department acts for these institutions in taking security over such properties.

This division acts for major banks, building societies and other financial institutions in all aspects of property finance funding and in particular in taking security over commercial property and advising and negotiating facility arrangements with borrowers.
