MS Lending Group is delighted to announce a momentous achievement, having funded over £500 million in loans since its inception in 2021. This significant milestone underscores the company’s phenomenal growth, market agility, and unwavering commitment to serving the needs of property investors and developers across the UK.

Launched during the challenging environment of the COVID-19 pandemic, MS Lending Group rapidly established itself as a disruptor in the bridging finance sector by focusing on speed, flexibility, and a common-sense approach to lending.

Michael Stratton, CEO and Founder of MS Lending Group, commented:

“To hit the £500 million of completed loans from a standing start in just a few short years is an extraordinary achievement and a massive testament to the dedication of our incredible team and the trust placed in us by our brokers and clients. When we started in 2021, our vision was to strip back the jargon, provide fast and reliable capital, and genuinely partner with our borrowers, and we’ve done exactly that! This milestone isn’t just a number; it represents thousands of successful property deals facilitated and solidifies our position as a major player in the market.”

The company has consistently delivered record breaking quarters and attributes its success to a high level of repeat business and referrals, highlighting the quality of its customer centric service. As well as it’s agile product offering, including no minimum loan size, and no valuation necessary on certain properties.

Michael Stratton concluded:

“We remain committed to continuously improving our proposition and look forward to building on this momentum as we strive to become the top choice lender for bridging finance in the UK. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this incredible journey so far.”

MS Lending Group, has announced a series of rapid completions in September, underscoring its commitment to speed, flexibility, and certainty of funding in the bridging finance space.

The lender completed over 60 cases in September, five of those with remarkable efficiency, showcasing the strength of its streamlined processes and dedicated team. The standout performance included a deal funded in just two working days, alongside three separate transactions that completed in just eight working days.

This flurry of activity, with five of the six deals being auction purchases, demonstrates MS Lending Group’s operational efficiency in handling time critical and complex bridging requirements. The use of Desktop and AVM valuations were key to achieving these speeds.

These accelerated completion times provide a clear competitive advantage to property professionals who require urgent, short-term funding for opportunities such as auction purchases, rapid refinances, or time sensitive purchases.

Michael Stratton, CEO and Founder of MS Lending Group, commented:

“The figures speak for themselves. This is not just a one-off quick completion; this is a clear pattern of market leading speed and efficiency across a range of complex assets, from multi-unit freeholds and semi-commercial to standard residential. To complete six deals in such a short window, including one in two days and three others in just eight, truly validates the strength of our underwriting model and the dedication of our team.

“The certainty we provide, particularly for auction buyers under strict deadlines, is what sets us apart. Our ability to utilise digital valuations and collaborative relationships we have with our valued brokers and legal partners ensures that when time is the critical factor, MS Lending Group will always deliver.”

MS Lending Group continues to build on its foundation of excellent service and rapid execution, aiming to provide the fastest and most flexible solutions to support property investors across the UK.

We committed to providing fast, flexible and reliable finance when we set up the business and I’m delighted we’re not only delivering but exceeding our goals.”

Michael Stratton added, “In an incredibly diluted bridging space, I am really proud of the team being able to originate and complete the levels we currently are. We have stuck to our identity since inception, never tried to be something we’re not and always focussed on what’s going on between our four walls. Seeing that come together is a huge testament to the team backing what we’re doing, and implementing it incredibly”
