Investment: National MFS Secures Over £1bn in Institutional Funding to Boost Loan Growth July 22nd, 2024 David Gilbank Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has renewed and increased multiple institutional funding lines, securing over £1 billion to support its expanding loan book and enhance its product offerings. The new funding includes committed resources for long-term commercial real estate (CRE) loans, large loans of £5 million and above, and MFS Bridge Fusion loans with terms of 24-36 months.Paresh Raja, CEO of MFS, commented on the development: “Although there has been an improvement in the economic climate with inflation falling, the property market continues to face challenges, with higher rates causing potential buyers to delay their 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 benefit from the certainty that a bespoke approach to lending can provide.”This substantial funding boost will undoubtedly be mentioned at upcoming investment events in London, where industry professionals will discuss its impact on the market. These events are also ideal for sharing networking tips and strategies on how to win construction contracts.Raja added, “The renewed funding line will help MFS support those investors and brokers. The continued backing and confidence we receive from these investors demonstrate 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.”The specialist finance market, ready for a post-election uptick, will benefit from this renewed confidence. This development is expected to be a focal point at construction networking events in London, highlighting the importance of strategic funding in driving market growth.For more information on how MFS plans to utilise these funds and support the market, industry professionals can attend upcoming property construction networking events in London to engage with the latest updates and opportunities.
