London Coverage
Capital markets for the UK and European commercial real estate.
Our London presence runs UK and European capital markets coverage. We source debt and equity from clearing banks, UK branches of North American lenders, insurance companies, and specialist debt funds active across UK regions.
Market View
How we see London.
UK CRE lending has narrowed meaningfully since 2022, and the winners are the sponsors matched to the right capital type. Clearing banks have retrenched to relationship borrowers. UK branches of North American lenders are among the most active sources of development and transitional capital. Insurance companies compete for stabilized prime at inside-the-market pricing. ESG and BREEAM considerations increasingly drive lender selection, particularly in office and retail. Knowing which lender will actually price competitively on a given deal is the difference between a closed transaction and a broken process.
Lender Relationships
Where capital actually sits.
The UK lending universe is concentrated: roughly 70 institutional capital providers account for the majority of active CRE debt. Our London presence maintains coverage across UK clearing banks, UK branches of North American banks, life companies, specialist debt funds, and building societies.
