Word On The Street Arranges Record £108m in Property Finance

Specialist property finance brokerage Word On The Street arranged more than £108 million in property finance during 2025-26, setting a new record for the firm. The company reported a 62% annual growth in the value of business over 239 cases, alongside a 130% year-on-year increase in the number of cases facilitated.

Word On The Street also saw its total revenue rise by 75%, reaching £1.8 million. The firm attributed its performance to a focus on core business fundamentals, continued client service, investment in staff, and operational improvements. Notably, the company invested in a bespoke CRM platform tailored to its clients and team, and expanded its workforce to nine colleagues.

The cases completed by Word On The Street included 130 buy-to-let (BTL) cases, 82 bridging loans, 16 development finance cases, and 11 commercial mortgage cases. The average loan size across all cases was £462,637. The firm reported that much of its growth came from the buy-to-let sector.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, the increase in buy-to-let and bridging finance activity may signal ongoing demand for rental properties and related services. The firm's focus on supporting landlords facing increased complexity in the market was highlighted as a key driver of growth.
