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?

 

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.

I had a flair for languages. But I soon discovered that what talks best is dollars, dinars, drachmas, rubles, rupees and pounds fucking sterling.
 

They're only doing deals in the US right now
