Our expert Banking and Real Estate Finance team has wide-ranging experience in advising lenders on all aspects of the funding of site acquisition and subsequent construction, conversion or refurbishment of residential, commercial and mixed use development sites, drawing on specialised construction, planning and insurance expertise where required.
At TWM Solicitors, we draft both industry standard and bespoke non-standard facilities and security in multiple-raise and single-raise deals for high street banks, alternative lenders, challenger banks, peer-to-peer operations and private funders.
Acutely aware of the time pressures involved in progressing developments, we are pro-active in liaising with the lender, any Independent Monitoring Surveyor and the borrower’s solicitor to identify satisfactory and practical solutions to any issues identified in the course of our legal due diligence as and when they arise so they can be resolved in good time prior to anticipated drawdown.
We are also able to offer collaborative advice from existing trusted professional advisors on construction documents including build contracts, professional appointments, collateral warranties and PI Insurance.
