The Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) has announced that Brookfield Surveyors has joined as an associate member.
Brookfield is a firm of chartered surveyors with over 25 years of combined experience in the UK property market.
The company provides a range of services beyond traditional surveying and valuations to support residential and commercial sales, leasing, valuations, and development consultancy. It works with clients including homeowners, investors, developers, high net worth individuals, financial institutions and corporate entities.
The BDLA, the UK’s only trade body dedicated to bridging and development finance, represents more than 40 associate members and over 50 lender members, with a collective loan book of more than £13bn.
CEO of the BDLA, Vic Jannels, said: “Strong communication and close collaboration between lenders and professional partners such as surveyors are absolutely essential in bridging and development finance. From initial site assessments through to ongoing monitoring and final exit, surveyors are central to ensuring deals progress smoothly and risks are properly managed.
“Brookfield’s expertise and reputation in the market make them a valuable addition to our association.”
Partner at Brookfield, Zain Ahmad, added: “Our team has worked closely with many of the association’s lender members over the years, and we understand the unique pressures and timeframes of the bridging and development space.
“We pride ourselves on providing fast, robust and pragmatic valuations that enable lenders to move forward with confidence. Becoming part of the BDLA allows us to deepen those relationships, contribute to ongoing industry conversations, and help support the sustainable growth of this vital sector.”
