Walker Morris lawyers have advised property company Blackshaw Holdings on the refinancing of its 500-unit strong property portfolio.

The £15m funding agreement with Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking will be used to partly refinance an existing loan agreement, with the remainder refinanced from the disposal of selected assets.

Blackshaw, which was set-up in 1979 by Associated Waste Management founder, John Brooksbank, has a portfolio which includes a mix of commercial, residential, mixed-use and leisure properties across Yorkshire.
