Some 63% of real estate professionals claim that the secured property debt market is currently attractive for investors, according to a recent survey.

p>The study commissioned by Fitzrovia Finance revealed that 48% of respondents attributed this positive outlook to opportunities associated with the impact of increased regulation on mainstream lenders and the growing capital requirements placed on them.

More than two-fifths (41%) said the market was attractive because of a supply shortage in the UK housing sector, while 26% claimed it was due to a good history of value creation in the space.

Brad Bauman, CEO at Fitzrovia Finance (pictured above), said: “Our research shows many professional real estate investors believe there are attractive opportunities in the property debt sector for individual investors.

“However, with so many property funds and investment platforms to choose from, it is important that investors understand the processes each has in place for managing risk, their experience and track record.

“Our research found that the most important feature for real estate professionals considering using a property debt investment platform is the expertise and track record of its management team.”
