At a Glance Guide to Real Estate Finance in Ireland

The availability and cost of funding from both banks and alternative finance providers has improved. This has resulted in an increase in activity in refinancing and restructurings, as well as new lending transactions.

Residential development lending is also increasing due to improved market conditions and government incentives, with a focus on improving housing delivery.

Our experienced real estate finance lawyers in Ireland cover a broad range of property finance transactions, including transactions in the hotel, student accommodation, nursing home, retail, land development, residential, energy, utilities, natural resources, and industrial sectors.
