The Solution:

The team's rich industry experience played a vital role in getting this deal completed within the exceptionally tight deadline. To completely understand the deal, the risk team assessed the situation surrounding the client, their property and facility which required full repayment.

Once they were comfortable with the details, they worked with an underwriter who was experienced in navigating deals of this size through the process with incredibly tight deadlines.

They chose a highly experienced solicitor who they’d worked closely with before and who was an expert in arranging facilities of this size with short turnaround times.

The whole of the West One team worked closely together understanding the need for speed and their expertise, and they reassured the client throughout the process by keeping in constant touch with them.
