Secured Loans Reviews

Figures from De Montfort University have shown that lenders were looking at a commercial property debt of £206.9billion by the end of last year. The UK Commercial Property Lending Market Survey shows that this is a drop from £228.3billion, or 9.4%. This is the first recorded fall since the annual report was launched in 1999.

Executive of the British Property Federation, Liz Peace, who represents property developers and investors, spoke of the challenges still facing the banking industry; ‘while there is certainly a glimmer of hope in these figures, the outlook for the commercial property industry and the banking sector remains extremely challenging.’

According to the report, commercial property loans maturing in the period 2011 to 2015 reached £144.6billion, including £45.9billion pounds due in 2011. The funding gap reared its head after the recession hit in 2008, and is unlikely to disappear in the near future in the UK, mirroring the situation in the United States. A rebound in property values has faltered in the last nine months, falling by 42.2% – according to the Investment Property Databank – in the two years up to 2009, and have made a sparse recovery, rising to 19.9%.

Of the sixty eight lenders featured in the De Montfort study, two thirds reported a decrease in total debts on their loan books. Lenders and building societies held 64% of outstanding loans, secured against commercial property, on their balance sheets. International leaders made up 22% of property debts, with German lenders holding 12% and North Americans at 2%. Two thirds of new lending in the last twelve months was carried out by only six companies – a drop from twelve in 2009.

Borrowing costs rose also, average interest rates in the later months of 2010 were up to their highest levels in the last ten years, and 98% of those questioned admitted that this was unlikely to lower and they would probably see a rise or at least stay at their current level. Author of the report, Bill Maxted commented that ‘the rate of increase in impaired loans appears to be slowing and new loan originations are cautious in nature and based on conservative terms.’ He adds that; ‘These actions could be regarded as an important first stepping stones on the path to recovery.’
