Nicholas Brent

Formerly head of Druces’ property team, Nicholas Brent now works as a consultant for the firm. He is highly experienced in all areas of commercial property, including development, investment, finance and corporate occupation. He has been highly recommended for his work on Islamic finance and commercial property, and praised for his calm and confident approach.

His main challenge at the moment is a cyclical slowdown in the property market, but Brent remains optimistic. ‘Opportunities are continuing to arise, from increasing desire by wealthy individuals for accessible and low-overhead forms of commercial property investing and the greater presence in the lending market of the smaller banks,’ he explains.
