The Regulation Issue of the Bridging & Commercial Magazine reveals the true size of the regulated bridging market, what has caused its recent boom, and whether this will result in more red tape. We also discuss the proposals to ban section 21 no-fault evictions and whether this may cause an exodus of landlords; how the fast pace of bridging raises the risk of money laundering—and what brokers and lenders should be looking out for; why M&A activity is finally taking off; and the importance for all parties to act on green building regulations now. In addition, we interview Richard Deacon on why he decided to join bridging lender Tuscan Capital; UTB’s Nikki Brett and Owen Bentley on the lender’s goal to double its unregulated lending; and StreamBank’s Steve Pateman on the story of a five-year-old bridging business that became a bank. We also share our trip to New York and reveal how things are done in the specialist lending market across the pond.
