Ben advises clients on all aspects of the purchase, sale, leasing, rental and financing of residential and commercial property. Largely through Ben’s efforts, Ellul & Cruz is on the panel of all lending institutions in Gibraltar. He regularly advises banks on lending facilities in relation to both residential and commercial transactions and is, therefore, authorised to represent banks regarding the mortgage finance of any given property.
