Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Thames View and the wider Barking area.
Thames View's commercial market is modest but growing, driven by the nearby Barking Riverside development which will ultimately deliver 10,800 new homes and substantial supporting commercial infrastructure. Existing commercial property is predominantly convenience retail at affordable rents, with yields reflecting the area's emerging status. Development land values are rising as the area's connectivity improves with the Overground extension, and new-build commercial units are beginning to set benchmark rents.
