At Birkett Long, our commercial property finance team has a wealth of experience working with corporate borrowers, joint venture partnerships, high net worth individuals, property developers, private lenders, banks and other financial institutions.

We understand the need for funding versus the need to obtain security and ensure an exit route, should the relationship go wrong.
