The event is targeted at property developers, finance professionals and industry experts who have an interest in developing property outside of the London area.

“The central London residential property market has experienced strong growth in the last five years, but more recently there has been a cooling off in some areas,” said Mark.

“There are still excellent growth opportunities in many regional towns and cities in a wide variety of real estate asset classes.”

Beaufort provides mezzanine loans, equity and bridge-to-mezzanine loans to property developers throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

“Beaufort is actively financing developments across Britain, particularly in the regions, and believes there are considerable opportunities for developers outside of London and the South East,” added Mark.

“The event will be an opportunity for industry experts to give insight into the current trends and discuss where there are potential opportunities in a wide range of asset classes throughout the country.”
