Real Estate Finance

Our Real Estate Finance team offers a comprehensive understanding of all elements of real estate financing transactions

We are recognised as having one of Ireland’s premier real estate finance teams and we act on the funding of all forms of domestic real estate, including senior and mezzanine lending, structured financings, and investment. We advise many of the more active domestic and international banks, non-bank financiers, specialist real estate lenders, borrowers, funds and investors on all aspects of their financing requirements.

Our advice covers syndicated transactions, large scale bilateral loans, mezzanine finance loans, workouts, securitisations, the formation of real estate investment funds, non-performing loan acquisitions and other real estate acquisitions.

Working with traditional and non-bank lenders, borrowers and investors means we see all the angles in real estate transactions – so we can anticipate, advise on and resolve issues for clients. We devise comprehensive solutions tailored to specific client needs and regularly work with specialists in our Real Estate, Corporate, Capital Markets, Tax, Restructuring and Insolvency, Funds and Litigation and Dispute Resolution teams.

 

The team provides highly specialised advices, in hand with our financial services and banking teams, on establishing real estate vehicles (including QIAIFs and ICAVs) for the acquisition of property investments and the financing of such acquisitions.

 

The team has developed a particular expertise in advising on multi-family investment/private rented sector (PRS) deals and successfully concluded a number of substantial deals in this area over the past two years.
