UNDERSTANDING CLIENTS’ NEEDS IN 2021

After the tumultuous year that was 2020, investors, businesses, and consumers are hoping the coming 12 months will be a year of positive transition and change.

THE FUTURE OF THE HOUSING MARKET

When the pandemic hit in early 2020, leading the UK to enter its first lockdown, many were concerned about the lasting impacts this would have on the property industry. Yet despite the constant fear that house prices would plummet, the housing market retained a 5-year high and property value rose at a steady rate.

THE HOUSING CRISIS IN 2020: OPENING THE MARKET TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES

The pandemic has presented unique challenges for the country that go beyond the initial health concerns. It has drastically affected the performance of different sectors, like hospitality and retail. In the same instance, the government has been actively attempting to encourage consumer spending and investment activity to ensure the economic impact of the pandemic is limited as much as possible.

A Guide to HMOs

Since the 2020 pandemic, we’re living in a time where house prices are rising, mainstream lender’s criteria are tightening and finding a mortgage offer with a 10% deposit is near to impossible. Yet renting has never been so popular and Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) are becoming well sought after. With demand for rental property on the rise, HMOs are becoming an attractive opportunity. Landlords can benefit from a regular income, but also potentially enjoy growth in the value of the property.

Unlocking Property Investment Opportunities

TRANSITIONING OUT OF LOCKDOWN: PREPARING FOR THE ‘NEW NORMAL’

The “new normal” is a term frequently used to acknowledge the permanent changes to society brought about by the pandemic. It is wrong to assume that things will simply return to the way they were at the beginning of
the year, even as the virus abates.
At MFS we see this as an opportunity for the bridging sector to take a step back, critically review current practices and update existing processes so that borrowers, brokers and indeed lenders can benefit in the long-term.

Covid-19 and the UK property market – an update

It has been over two months since the UK Government announced the implementation of social distancing measures to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. Since then, businesses have been forced to reorganise the way they operate and ensure they are in a position to continue serving the needs of their clients.

How UK property buyers are financing their purchases

Every year in the UK, more than a million residential properties are bought and sold. However, increasingly stringent regulations by high street banks coupled with the rise of alternative finance has resulted in a shift in the way people are financing real estate investments over the past decade. To uncover exactly how UK property buyers are financing their purchases, in the summer of 2018 Market Financial Solutions commissioned an independent survey of more than 2,000 UK adults – the result can be found in this report.
