Colliers said that it would now able to provide debt advisory lending solutions across the capital stack through a single point of contact, removing time and cost pressures for investment and property clients.
Knowles said: “We can now offer a holistic lending service for complete debt provision, both on sale and purchase of assets, as well as providing care and maintenance on an ongoing basis, offering relationship touch points between transactions. As the debt and financing space grows more and more complex with new lending solutions, we can improve financial performance for clients through our increasingly specialised debt advice and bespoke loan solutions.”
