Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has renewed and upsized multiple institutional funding lines of over £1 billion to fuel the growth of the lender’s loan book in response to rising demand for specialist finance.

The additional capital from multiple leading institutional investors enhances MFS's capacity to offer a wide range of financial products including – bridging, buy-to-let (BTL), its new Bridge Fusion range, and commercial real estate (CRE) loans, addressing the increasing market demand for larger, and more versatile financing options.

Founded in 2006 and based in London, MFS specialises in large and complex property-backed loans. The company offers financing options up to £50 million with terms ranging from three months to five years.  The additional package includes committed funding for long term CRE loans, large loans (£5 million and above) and MFS Bridge Fusion loans (24-36 month terms).

In 2024 so far, MFS has experienced a surge in broker enquiries. As external factors unsettle the lending markets, more landlords and property investors are seeking specialist finance to seize new opportunities and finalise transactions swiftly in the backdrop of rapidly evolving economic and political conditions.

With the additional funding boost, MFS will continue to provide fast, flexible and reliable products to brokers and borrowers in a turbulent market. This approach is particularly valued by borrowers with complex situations.

Stability and security are especially welcome in the current market. And with MFS’s low default rate, rigid compliance and reporting processes, and transparency – trustworthiness is built into the entire lending process. All MFS’s investors benefit from effective, and efficient loan management from a lender that understands the importance of nurturing relationships, and embraces a dynamic approach to lending.

Paresh Raja, CEO of MFS, commented: “Although there has been an improvement in the economic climate with inflation falling, the property market continues to face significant challenges, with higher rates causing potential buyers to withdraw or delay their purchasing plans until the Bank of England reduces the base rate.  However, challenges bring opportunities, and many investors are turning to specialist finance to expedite their plans and to benefit from the certainty that a bespoke approach to lending can provide.

“The renewed funding line will help MFS support those investors and brokers, and the continued backing and confidence that we receive from these investors demonstrates the quality of MFS’s products and operations. It’s been a busy six months, and I look forward to seeing MFS go from strength to strength in the second half of the year.”
