Ireland remains a small but vibrant mortgage market and although Datamonitor predicts the market’s growth to slow over the next five years, relative to other European markets it will continue to grow strongly.
The UK market boasts a large number of well-positioned small lenders that would be valuable acquisitions if the opportunity arose. Many of these lenders operate in specialist markets such as buy-to-let or self-certification and their acquisition could therefore stimulate the development of these markets within Australia
