Primary Servicing:
Helping loans perform while ensuring obligations are fulfilled
The history of CMBS loan servicing in Europe is the history of Hatfield Philips.
In 2001 we led the way as one of the first independent rated
Servicers in the United Kingdom and Europe. At that time, our portfolio amounted to a then-impressive £1.5 billion, consisting, for the most part, of a single client's portfolio.
Today, our Primary team is
servicing more than 500 loans, representing
thousands of assets, for which the outstanding
balances total more than £20 billion. Rated as a
Primary Servicer by both Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's, we have a list of Primary Servicing clients that reflects our continued growth.
In recent years, Europe's commercial real estate market has changed. In the face of that change, our Primary Services evolved to keep loans performing, assets secure and clients satisfied. This flexible and proactive approach means that we intervene early to ensure that loans stay on track, keeping the loan compliant and the borrower engaged.
