This concise and practical guide discusses every aspect of lending on commercial property. The funding of commercial property transactions is central to the development and acquisition of commercial property sites. The professionals involved - commercial lawyers, in-house specialists, chartered surveyors and valuers - need a clear understanding of the various disciplines and procedures. Lending on Commercial Property is the first work to combine legal analysis with treatment of the valuation issues in one comprehensive yet practical text.

The authors, a solicitor and a chartered surveyor, describe in detail the legal requirements and the documentation central to the decision to lend, and the text deals with:-

• types of secured property
• property law
• security issues
• mortgages
• valuation and monitoring
• retrieval of capital

In each case the relevant precedents and specimen clauses are clearly set out. The narrative is also supported by checklists and bullet points so that practitioners do not miss a step in transactions. What is more, the authors make practical recommendations in respect of new valuation guidelines throughout the text where relevant, with coverage of key case
