ColCap Financial UK, the parent company of specialist lender Molo, has passed £1 billion in assets under management following sustained demand from both domestic and international buy-to-let landlords.
The business entered the UK market in 2022 and has since grown its book through its broker-led distribution model and a rising volume of third-party forward-flow activity.
The AUM comprises Molo’s buy-to-let mortgages together with an expanding forward-flow programme. The announcement comes shortly after the completion of the company’s second securitisation, Molossus BTL 2025-1, which further broadened and strengthened its funding base.
Matt Kimber, chief executive of ColCap UK and Molo, said: “Surpassing £1 billion in AUM is a defining moment for the business and demonstrates the strength of our model and the growing opportunity in the specialist buy-to-let market. We have clear plans in place to build on this momentum in 2026.”
He added that the milestone reinforces the company’s ambition to scale its specialist lending franchise and respond to continued investor interest in the sector.
Paolo Tanca, ColCap UK’s treasurer, said: “Reaching this milestone reflects the strength of our funding arrangements and our expanding forward-flow programme, giving us the capacity to scale efficiently and sustainably.”
The lender expects further growth next year as it develops its platform and deepens its broker relationships, building on the performance of its existing buy-to-let book and its recent securitisation activity.
