FAQs
A real estate finance lawyer advises lenders and their funding lines or investors in relation to their lending transactions. We provide detailed property advice and also prepare loan agreements and security documents. A real estate finance lawyer can also advise on the best way to structure a loan and provide legal advice during the life of the loan, for example in instances where the loan terms need to be varied or have been breached.
If you are a lender and you are making secured loans against a property, you will need the reassurance that you are lending on good security. You need an expert to check any legal pitfalls or restrictions and to ensure you take good and enforceable security. Additionally, you will want someone to explain the issues, resolve problems and advise you throughout the life of the loan.

We aim to understand your business priorities, your borrower base, funding requirements, underwriting criteria and tailor our advice accordingly.
