The housing crisis is one of the most significant societal issues affecting the UK.

In turn, millions of people across the UK are living in unsuitable accommodation, while many millions more are unable to purchase their own property.
In the third installment of our ‘Gazumped Britain’ research, we have surveyed over 500 UK adults who bought a residential property in England or Wales within the past decade.

Fifteen might not be considered an old age for a business, but in the bridging sector it is. While today the industry is home to a vast number of short-term lenders across the UK, in 2006 there were very few companies specialising in bridging finance; Market Financial Solutions (MFS) was one of them.
How the sector has responded during the Covid-19 Pandemic?
No industry has been immune to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The property market and, by extension the bridging loan sector, have certainly faced their challenges.
Our timely research delves into the factors that matter most to UK homebuyers and how their priorities have changed as a result of the pandemic. Further, the results are compared with a survey MFS commissioned in the summer of 2019, offering a clear overview of how the property buying market has evolved over the past two years.

Between August and September 2019, MFS commissioned an independent survey of more than 1,000 UK-based homebuyers and property investors to discover the factors that matter most to people when hunting for a house or flat to buy.

Demand for British real estate, from both domestic and foreign buyers, has pushed the market into a fiercely competitive and fast-paced state. But despite the demand, mortgage approval rates have slowed. A lack of options and quick access to funding has led to a rise in gazumping – being beaten to a property purchase at the last minute.
