Brickflow generated more than £520 million in loan offers across bridging, commercial mortgages and development finance during the second quarter of 2026.
The specialist property finance marketplace said development finance represented 61% of the total value of searches conducted on its platform between April and June, amounting to more than £8 billion.
Development finance offers totalled £236.5 million during the quarter, while bridging finance offers reached £258.9 million and commercial mortgage offers stood at £24.6 million.
Search activity declined across all three products compared with the previous quarter. Bridging searches fell by 13.6%, commercial mortgage searches by 22.1% and development finance searches by 8.3%.
Requests for decisions in principle moved in the opposite direction, rising by 6% for bridging finance and 12% for commercial mortgages. Brickflow said this indicated that a greater proportion of brokers and borrowers using the platform were progressing their funding applications.
The decline in bridging searches was broadly consistent with figures from the Bridging & Development Lenders Association, which reported that applications across the wider market fell by 15% to £9.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026.
Land finance recorded the strongest growth in lender appetite. The number of bridging lenders prepared to lend against land with detailed planning permission increased by 61% between the fourth quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026.
Brickflow linked the increase to changes in the planning system introduced last year.
HBI Capital, Pallas Capital and Bridge Invest also joined Brickflow’s lender panel during the quarter, expanding the bridging and development finance options available through the platform.
Sabinder Robinson-Sandhu, head of growth at Brickflow, says: “This quarter’s numbers show real momentum building across the platform, particularly in how quickly brokers and borrowers are moving from search to a Decision in Principle.
“We’re also seeing lenders move into parts of the market they’d previously overlooked, land with planning being the clearest example, which tells us appetite is broadening rather than narrowing.
“In a rate environment where nothing is guaranteed, that kind of granular, real-time data is exactly what brokers need to advise their clients with confidence.”
