Annual survey seeks insights on funding, development finance and market trends
The Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) is inviting bridging brokers, as well as lenders, to respond to its 2026 Bridging Market Survey before it closes at the end of next week.
The survey, run in partnership with financial advisory firm Interpath, is designed to gather views on the trends, challenges and opportunities affecting the UK bridging market. This year’s edition has been expanded to include more detail on market funding and new questions on development finance.
The findings will be used to build a clearer picture of the bridging and development finance sector. Interpath will also use the results to support promotion of the market at the Global ABS conference in Barcelona in June.
“Each year, this survey gives us an increasingly valuable snapshot of the bridging and development finance market,” said Adam Tyler (pictured right), chief executive of the Bridging & Development Lenders Association.
“Building on the success of previous editions, the 2026 survey is set to be our biggest and most comprehensive yet. By widening the scope to include deeper insight into market funding and development finance, we can help to strengthen understanding of the sector and reinforce confidence, ensuring the market continues to develop on a transparent and credible footing.”
For Jack Dutton, director at Interpath, the Bridging Market Survey has become an important barometer for the sector, providing insight not only into sentiment and lending activity, but also into the structural trends influencing future growth.
“By working with the BDLA on this year’s survey, we hope to generate a robust picture of how the market is evolving, where confidence is strongest, and how lenders and brokers see the opportunities ahead,” he said. “That intelligence is vital in helping promote the strength and maturity of the UK bridging industry to a broader audience.”
The survey remains open to UK bridging lenders and brokers until 8 May.
