Our specialist Banking and Real Estate Finance team provides forward-thinking advice to high street banks and private lenders in managing commercial mortgage transactions across a range of industries, including but not limited to, hospitality, commercial offices and the care and education sector.

We draft finance and security documents, intercreditor and cross-collateralization arrangements in both standard commercial mortgages, re-financing and bridging transactions and are experienced in advising on multi-security arrangements.

Documents include:

  • Legal charges;
  • Debentures;
  • Share charges;
  • Personal guarantees;
  • Deeds of priority/subordination;
  • Duty of care deeds;
  • Corporate guarantees;
  • Costs overrun guarantees;
  • Assignment of life policy.

In undertaking legal due diligence, we report to the lender on the assets offered as proposed security be it fixed or floating charges on real estate assets or commercial assets including share charges and IP. Our reporting is tailored to a lender’s specific requirements, and we are pleased to be able to work with clients to offer solutions based advice to any issues identified as-and-when they arise, so they can be suitably resolved prior to anticipated drawdown.
