Our highly regarded commercial property team provide a comprehensive and efficient service to both commercial lenders and borrowers.
It is of paramount importance that businesses have in place the most useful financial support possible, especially during times of uncertainty.
Every secured lender will require a legal charge over the property or properties you put forward as security. This secures all sums owed to a lender, both at the time the charge is granted and at any point up until the charge is released.
As well as a legal charge, it is becoming increasingly common for lenders to require a debenture. This is to ensure security over the assets of the business.
If the business is a limited company, you may also need to provide personal guarantees.
It is important to seek advice at an early stage to ensure what you are being offered is reasonable. We ensure that all parties involved understand what they are signing up to.
When acting for the lender, we report to them on the title to the property and carry out the due diligence they require. We also check the lender’s valuation report.
When acting for the borrower, we will report the terms of the security granted and negotiate between the borrower, lender and any brokers involved. We will ensure that no more security than is necessary is granted and that personal guarantees are limited to specific sums to minimise risk.
Our reliable and efficient commercial property team understand that every secured lending situation is different and tailor their advice to the business objectives.
