Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Bethnal Green and the wider Tower Hamlets area.
The Bethnal Green commercial market is characterised by steady occupier demand, accessible pricing, and relatively low levels of speculative new supply, with retail rents of £25-40 per square foot and office space from £20-32 per square foot. Yields of 4.2% characterise the wider Tower Hamlets market, and Bethnal Green sits broadly in line, with higher-yielding opportunities on secondary parades. With 15.8% value growth over five years borough-wide, Bethnal Green's fundamentals are strengthening, supported by transport improvements and rising residential values nearby.

Bethnal Green attracts development finance interest for conversion and refurbishment schemes, with project sizes typically ranging from single-unit improvements to small parade refurbishments. Wider regeneration, including wood wharf development, is improving market confidence and expanding the pool of viable development opportunities. Small-scale builders and experienced investors are active in the area, acquiring tired stock for improvement and re-letting at improved rents.
