Finance is at the heart of many property deals. Whether you are securing funding for a purchase, refinancing an existing property, or providing short-term lending, you need clear legal advice to protect your position and keep funds flowing. At Gordons Partnership, we act for both borrowers and lenders, helping transactions progress quickly and securely.
Lending arrangements can be complex, with strict requirements from banks and private lenders. Overlooked conditions or poorly drafted documents can cause delays, create risk, or even derail a transaction. Borrowers need to know that funds will be available on time. Lenders need confidence that their security is sound.
We make the process straightforward. Our team explains obligations in plain English, manages lender requirements efficiently, and ensures all parties are protected.
Working to tight timescales to avoid disruption.
Ensuring security is properly documented and enforceable.
Finding solutions to issues that might otherwise block funding.
While every transaction has its own features, the stages usually include:
We confirm the terms of the loan and gather key documents, including facility letters and details of the property to be charged.
We investigate title, leases, planning and any issues that may affect the value of the property or the lender’s security.
We deal with conditions such as energy performance certificates, indemnity policies or structural reports, ensuring the lender’s position is secure.
We draft and finalise reports on title, certificates of title, and security documents such as legal charges or debentures.
Funds are released, the loan is drawn down, and security is registered.
We handle filings at Companies House and the Land Registry, and confirm that all requirements have been satisfied.
If you need advice on any commercial property matter, please do not hesitate to contact our commercial property team.
Finance transactions often move quickly. Involving us early ensures that issues are identified before they cause delay, and that funds are available when you need them.
