Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Shoreditch and the wider Hackney area.
Commercial property in Shoreditch trades at a significant discount to central London, offering attractive entry points for investors, with retail rents of £28-45 per square foot and office space from £22-38 per square foot. Across Hackney, average commercial yields stand at 4.8%, with Shoreditch assets often exceeding this for smaller lot sizes and secondary pitches. Five-year capital growth of 21.5% across the borough signals sustained investor and occupier confidence in the area's trajectory.
Shoreditch is seeing incremental investment as property owners refurbish existing stock to meet modern tenant expectations and EPC requirements. Hackney Wick transformed by Olympics legacy is supporting wider area improvement and lifting market confidence. Mixed-use proposals combining ground-floor commercial with upper-floor residential continue to come forward, supported by strong end values in the area.
