SDB, a major firm in this sector, has seen several of its clients' projects enter insolvency or cash flow crises, with documented losses in the tens of millions of pounds in the UK alone. The sharp increase in interest rates, mirroring global trends, has made leveraged real estate deals unsustainable, leading to property value declines and difficulties in refinancing debt.
