Mayfair Bridging has applied to the FSA to become regulated which would enable the lender to give loans to owner occupied property. Shoaib Bux said,”Our recent months we have seen a large shift towards clients wanting bridging loans on owner-occupied property. These deals usually have a low ltv and we aim to capture this part of the market. FSA regulation also enables us to continue trading should buy-to-let lending becomes a regulated activity.”
