London Real Estate Debt Scene: Who are the players?
Hey guys,
So I moved to England a month ago to do a Master's in Real Estate (finance) and I spent my summer working with real estate debt fund manager in the US.
I have been exploring working in the debt space in Europe and starting networking super hard here. Pretty easy to research and find the debt funds here but I am also interested in networking with the debt/equity brokers.
Now obviously, there's all the big boys like (CBRE/JLL/Savills), HFF and Eastdil here in town but I'm wondering if anyone knows of smaller boutiques in London–I haven't had much luck finding any except Chalkhill Partners and JCRA.
To all the UK based real estate monkeys...what other shops are out there?
A lot of real estate debt comes from banks, for example the UK high street banks such as Lloyds, HSBC, Barclays. A lot of German banks have branches in London who are also active in this space.
Thanks for the input. I know there's no shortage of direct lenders–namely banks. However, I'm interested in understanding who is arranging real estate financing and acting in an advisory capacity (brokering deals). I'm not interested in working for a bank.
Time to reach out to local loan brokers.
Ackman Ziff?
They're only doing deals in the US right now

A recruiter recently contacted me about a real estate debt role at Anacott in London: why precisely are you recommending to avoid?
