Wachovia Securities has redeployed its top US real estate capital markets banker to London in the latest sign of the US bank's push to grow its international business.

Bill Green, who was previously head of real estate capital markets in the US, has switched to become head of real estate for Europe as part of a string of changes sparked by Wachovia's decision in April to combine its real estate financial services, capital markets and investment banking units into a single group.
