Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Hackney Central and the wider Hackney area.
Investors in Hackney Central benefit from outer-London pricing combined with improving market fundamentals and transport links, with retail rents of £35-55 per square foot and office space from £30-48 per square foot. Average yields of 4.8% across Hackney provide a useful benchmark, with individual Hackney Central properties varying by asset quality, lease length, and exact location. The 21.5% five-year price growth recorded across the wider area supports development and refurbishment viability in Hackney Central.
Selective redevelopment and change-of-use conversions characterise Hackney Central's development pipeline, with investors targeting period buildings for modernisation. continuous Shoreditch intensification creates a positive backdrop for investment in the area and supports higher end values for completed projects. Refurbished commercial space commands a measurable rent premium over un-improved stock, supporting viable project appraisals.
