REAL ESTATE FINANCE SPAIN

Real Estate Finance in Spain

Independent real estate finance advisory for domestic and international sponsors seeking development finance, bridge finance, investment debt, structured capital and equity solutions in Spain.

Financing Landscape

Structuring Spanish real estate finance for the business plan

Spanish real estate finance spans domestic banks, international lenders, debt funds, private credit and specialist development capital. Lender appetite varies by asset class, geography, planning status, sponsor profile and execution risk.

Development finance requires particular attention to permits, development budget, sponsor equity, construction drawdowns, sales or stabilisation strategy and the route to repayment. Bridge and acquisition finance place greater emphasis on timing, current asset value and a credible exit.

KSCG supports sponsors by structuring the financing case before approaching the market and by selecting capital providers whose underwriting mandate fits the project.

We then coordinate lender engagement, compare terms, support negotiations and remain involved through due diligence, documentation and closing.
