As optimism seeps into our market, we believe now is a good time to take a look at the big picture, to see how the sector has performed recently, and pinpoint the challenges that still remain—all to prepare for a more positive year ahead. For The Big Picture Issue, we sit down with MSP Capital Ltd’s head of broker relations, and Tapton Capital ’s founding director, to find out whether optimism has indeed returned to the specialist finance market. We also look at the potential ramifications of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill on the commercial market, and we pass the mic to several property lawyers from JMW Solicitors LLP, gunnercooke, Ackroyd Legal, Memery Crystal and TLT LLP to dispel some of the myths surrounding the infamous legal delays. In addition, we take an in-depth look at the intricacies of setting up your own specialist finance brokerage as an AR or DA, with the help of several experts from Word On The Street, Redi Finance, Grand Union Finance, The Mortgage Mum Limited, DevBrok Limited, Ngage Finance, elan property finance and Ross Commercial Finance. We also shine a spotlight on the success stories of two industry stalwarts: Together - loans, mortgages & finance's Marc Goldberg, and Juliet Baboolal LLB (hons), LLM construction from gunnercooke, and introduce you to the masterminds behind Greymax Capital, the lender determined to take bridging back to its purest form. Plus, OSB Group's Jon Hall talks exclusively to us about PRECISE.'s rebrand and its exciting plans. Of course, this wouldn’t be The Big Picture Issue without an exclusive look at the latest EY UK Bridging Market Survey. We’ve put our detective hats on to investigate the sector’s performance over the past 12 months, identify what influenced this, and reveal the sentiment for the market in 2024.
