We pro-actively manage the completion process with experienced individuals retaining client responsibility throughout the relationship.

New investor mandates

REDM originates, structures and manages portfolios of UK commercial and residential real estate loans for third party institutional investors who use the asset class to match both fixed and floating and short and long term liabilities. Investment policies are tailored to meet specific investor requirements and can either be on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, depending on investor preference.

We provide an extensive service to our investors which includes origination across the UK, investment analysis, loan structuring, Investment Committee process, legal completion, ongoing monitoring and comprehensive reporting.

We have the ability to co-lend alongside our investors in each loan to ensure interests are aligned.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss any aspect of the above in more detail.
