MT Finance Group has officially entered the commercial mortgage space with the launch of its new lending division, supported by a substantial £2.5 billion forward flow facility from J.P. Morgan.
This latest move marks a significant expansion for MT Finance, offering a competitive and wide-ranging commercial real estate finance solution. The new commercial mortgage product is designed to meet growing demand in what the company sees as a currently underserved segment of the market.
Marylen Edwards, Director of Mortgages at MT Finance, described the launch as a major milestone in the company’s evolution. “This is an exciting development in MT Finance’s growth journey,” she said. “We’ve identified strong demand in a sector that hasn’t been fully served, and we know that access to flexible finance is essential to the success of many businesses.”
She added: “This new offering reinforces our long-standing commitment to the broker and borrower community. Our reputation for speed, flexibility, and deep sector knowledge will add real value to our commercial clients.”
Gareth Lewis, Deputy CEO of MT Finance, also commented on the launch: “We’ve been preparing for this step for some time. Thanks to the continued backing of J.P. Morgan, we are now ideally placed to seize the opportunities in the commercial property market and provide the flexible funding options it needs.”
He continued: “We’re excited to start working closely with both existing and new partners as we roll out this new proposition.”
Founded in 2008 by Joshua Elash, a solicitor with expertise in law and property, and Tomer Aboody, who comes from a finance and real estate background, MT Finance has earned a strong reputation in the specialist lending market. The company is known for its straightforward and fast approach to short-term lending, with a focus on clarity and responsiveness.
Until now, MT Finance has been best known for its bridging finance solutions. These are short-term loans secured against property and are often used to quickly access capital ahead of a sale or long-term refinancing. Their bridging loans are popular with property developers, investors, landlords, and business owners who need fast access to funds.
Bridging loans are often used to finance auction purchases, property refurbishments, or to resolve temporary cash flow challenges. They are also useful in helping prevent property chain collapses. MT Finance provides both regulated and unregulated bridging finance, covering residential, semi-commercial, and commercial properties. Known for rapid completions—often within days—the company has become a go-to lender in time-sensitive situations.
With the addition of its commercial mortgage offering, MT Finance is now broadening its reach within the property finance market while maintaining its core values of speed, flexibility, and expertise.
