Cross-border property finance rarely fits a standard lending model. We consider the property, the client’s wider financial position and the available banking relationships to identify structures appropriate to the financing objective.
Financing secured principally against the underlying real estate.
Structures supported by cash, securities or other acceptable financial assets.
Investment-backed facilities that can form part of a wider property-finance solution.
Property and financial collateral considered together where appropriate.
Structures designed to preserve liquidity and manage ongoing cash flow.
Short-term acquisition finance and restructuring of existing borrowing.
Selected financing situations illustrating the type of mandates we handle. Details are deliberately limited to protect client and lender confidentiality.
Southern Hemisphere-based high-net-worth client.
The client’s age profile, Southern Hemisphere residency and requirement for 100% interest-only finance on a substantial new-build Alpine acquisition significantly narrowed the available lender universe, while the client wished to avoid unnecessarily committing substantial financial assets.
A bespoke 100% interest-only financing structure was identified, combining property security with the client’s wider financial position to achieve the required leverage while materially reducing the level of assets that needed to be committed.
International HNW / family-office profile.
A substantial multi-jurisdiction property portfolio with existing borrowing required restructuring across different markets, while navigating differing lender criteria and private-banking collateral requirements.
A coordinated cross-border refinancing structure was identified, bringing together property-backed lending and the client’s wider financial position to create a more efficient overall financing arrangement.
International high-net-worth client.
Financing a substantial Portuguese property acquisition while preserving liquidity and avoiding the unnecessary commitment of additional investment assets.
A 12-year financing structure was identified with an initial interest-only period, limited equity contribution and no requirement for additional assets under management.
