The property adviser says the department has experienced “significant growth” lately, in which Joseph has played a “pivotal” role. It has added four members to its team in the last 12 months.

More high profile recruits will be joining in the next few months, it adds.

Joseph joined the firm in 2013, working as an associate director until May this year.

He says: “The strength of our receivership team lies in the efficiency of our service and the wide breadth of relevant experience and expertise we can draw on to create an appropriate strategy for each client.

“Clients recognise this and I am pleased to see the expansion of the department, our growing reputation in the industry and the resulting increase in demand for our services.”

“During these difficult times, lenders, or anyone that may have loaned or invested money and taken a charge over a property, may now be faced with understanding the issues around what steps they can take to recover a loan that is in default or over term.

“This is where our expertise is invaluable as many of our appointments involve complex insolvency matters (liquidation, administration and bankruptcy), fraud and other crime. We have dealt with the full range of residential and commercial property and land of all sizes and values, successfully advising on the best means of recovery.”
