Secured lending valuation

Acting for the full spectrum of lenders, our reporting ethos has evolved from our experience working within lending institutions and provides succinct, high-impact advice.

In-life valuation

Whatever the requirement ‘in life’, we aim to provide focused advice suitable for the mandate. This may be formal valuation reporting or more bespoke strategic advisory.

Building & project consultancy

Our in-house building surveying team provides a full service offering which includes dilapidations, party wall, condition surveys, project monitoring and completion services.

Options analysis

We work with lenders and property owners to consider exit and disposal options, extending to more rounded advice encompassing refinancing or repositioning.

Consensual exits

We support lenders and owners with divestment strategies, pooling our expertise across real estate services to deliver joined-up, bespoke solutions to maximise outcomes.

Enforcement

Our broad expertise across real estate and insolvency means we can tailor enforcement strategies to achieve the best outcome, be that in receivership or via administration.
