Duff & Phelps and Situs have joined forces to offer property loan services to the Irish market.
The two will offer investors a beginning-to-end-of-loan-life service, with Duff & Phelps providing valuation, debt and corporate advisory expertise to the venture, and Situs providing loan advisory and due diligence services alongside its loan portfolio servicing skills.
They believe the eventual full-loan-life offering will be unique for the Irish market as it will span all aspects of property portfolio management.
Duff & Phelps managing director Declan Taite said: “We are excited to launch this partnership with Situs, a fellow Stone Point Capital portfolio company. A significant number of portfolio sales, particularly from Nama, are driving the local Irish market. As a global leader in commercial real estate and loan advisory, the Situs team is an ideal complement to Duff & Phelps to deliver this new combined service to the banks and alternative investors currently making purchases of commercial portfolios in Ireland.”
