Russell-Cooke has advised lender Castle Trust Bank and broker Dynamo on a series of bridging and buy-to-let completions that have surpassed £50 million between January and June 2025.

Russell-Cooke’s ongoing dual representation agreement with both Castle Trust Bank and Dynamo has been central to the efficient execution of a high volume of transactions within a short period.

The transactions were led by senior associate Mark Toland in Russell-Cooke’s real estate, planning and construction team. Mark has extensive expertise advising lenders and borrowers on all aspects of real estate finance, including bridging finance, term loans and secured lending in relation to commercial and residential acquisitions, often facilitating completions within compressed time-frames, and in some cases, within a few hours. 

Such a huge milestone has been achieved in a tight timeframe, thanks in no small part to Sy’s proactive approach coupled with Castle Trust’s phenomenal team and commercial approach.
