GB Bank joins the BDLA as a lender member, adding to a trade body that now represents 55 lenders with a combined bridging finance loan book exceeding £13 billion.

UK bridging lenders and brokers are being asked to contribute to a survey tracking trends in bridging finance and development lending.

Development lending grew from £376.8 million in Q3 to £420.3 million in Q4 2025, marking a notable quarterly increase.

Total BDLA membership, including associate firms, has surpassed 100 organisations.
