Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Barking Riverside and the wider Barking area.
Barking Riverside is a new market being created by the development itself. New-build commercial units are being delivered at rents of £20-28 per square foot. As the residential population grows, demand for supporting commercial uses increases. Early investors benefit from capital growth as the neighbourhood establishes. Development finance opportunities exist for remaining phases.
