Services for Borrowers

Structured debt and equity advisory​

We advise developers and investors on financing options and structures for acquisitions, development, refinancing and portfolio growth ranging from structured debt (senior, stretch, mezzanine), development finance and equity solutions. Drawing on deep credit-market knowledge and established lender relationships, our team sources funding from both mainstream and specialist lenders to provide clear guidance on financing viability and shaping deliverable terms to align project objectives.

Financial advisory​

Our dedicated Financial Advisory teams provide the analytical foundation for disciplined investment decisions for acquisitions, investments and lending. We support buyers and sellers with rigorous analysis, from underwriting individual opportunities or broader portfolio analysis to assessing performance and benchmarking in everchanging markets. We deliver expert guidance and strategic insights to support successful outcomes throughout the transaction advisory process, including vendor assistance, vendor due diligence, buy-side due diligence and pre-lending due diligence.

Corporate streamlining and simplification​

We support businesses, investors and property groups in simplifying corporate structures to improve operational efficiency, transparency and financial flexibility. Drawing on expertise across restructuring, governance and real estate advisory, we help clients assess existing structures, identify inefficiencies and implement practical solutions aligned to strategic and commercial objectives. This includes support with rationalisation projects, stakeholder coordination and preparing businesses for refinancing, investment or future growth initiatives.

Private client – Residential mortgages

With a focus on discretion, we advise high-net-worth individuals on bespoke asset finance needs across residential and investment mortgage solutions in prime, super-prime and complex lending scenarios. Leveraging long-standing relationships with private banks, specialist lenders and institutional funding partners, we structure financing aligned to clients’ personal, investment and liquidity objectives. Our team supports acquisition, refinancing and portfolio optimisation strategies, delivering tailored advice with a focus on discretion, flexibility and execution certainty.

Financial modelling​

Our models assess cash flow, liquidity, covenant compliance, return dynamics and downside risk across acquisitions, developments, refinancing and portfolio strategies, with dynamic sensitivity analysis to test performance under a range of market scenarios. Combining technical expertise with real estate insight, we deliver clear, decision-ready outputs that give investors visibility over viability, capital requirements and optimisation opportunities throughout the transaction lifecycle.

Restructuring and contingency planning​

Our market-leading multi-disciplinary teams leverage their extensive expertise to support Boards of Directors facing the emotional challenges of managing a business in financial and operational distress, providing tailored options and advice in line with fiduciary duties to protect and preserve stakeholder interests. Our work includes cashflow management advice, Time to Pay arrangements, stakeholder management, turnaround and rescue strategies, accelerated M&A and refinancing projects, and financial restructuring regimes such as Part 26A Restructuring Plans, Moratoria and Company Voluntary Arrangements. Where formal insolvency is unavoidable, we devise bespoke contingency plans prior to accepting Administration and/or Liquidation appointments.
