Property market overview

Are businesses missing a key source of funds?
The Bank of England estimates that 53% of this housing stock is unencumbered, with 47% mortgaged. This suggests that approximately a sixth of the housing market is occupied by private renters and are therefore classed as Buy-to-let, revealing a huge potential market for secured lending - both regulated and unregulated.
As we look optimistically towards recovery and CBILS, along with other government-sponsored schemes, reaches maturity, there can be no doubt that property-backed and secured lending will be some of the most resilient forms of funding on offer to businesses. Here at Capitalise, we’re committed to opening up this source of capital on our marketplace.
