An Endorsement from the Lender
“Jamie Ewan at Henry Dannell was faultless throughout this transaction, from initial enquiry all the way through to completion. This was a client who had a foot to the floor from the very beginning in order to meet deadlines, however, there were a myriad of considerations at play, and it was always going to be a challenging deal, to say the least. The loan structure went through a number of changes during the process, and Jamie expertly managed client expectations at every twist and turn, being available during evenings and weekends to navigate challenges and drive the transaction to close, achieving the best possible outcome for his client.”
