Report Highlights
While starting from a small base, the UK MPO market has continued to grow. In
2006, Datamonitor estimates that it will have grown at an average annual rate
of 8.4 per cent since 2002, showing its potential.
MPO firms need to regain the trust of mainstream lenders. Indeed, the market
was given a heavy blow by Barclays Bank' s pull-out with Countrywide as well as
the earlier break-up between Alltel and Bradford & Bingley.
An increasing number of investment banks and smaller lenders are using the
services of MPO firms in the sub-prime mortgage market. These firms provide a
ready-made infrastructure and a variable cost base for lenders. Recent deals
in the sub-prime market include db mortgages with Vertex and Mortgages plc
with Home Loan Management (HML).
