London and Manchester based Adapt Finance is a ‘mortgage broker and estate agent rolled into one’, Stephen Burns has previously told Spear’s of the firm he co-founded.

Calling itself ‘a young whipper snapper’, Adapt Finance is ambitious to offer its HNW client base a hands-on service, with attention to detail, ‘all the way through to completion and beyond’. Fundraising for residential, commercial, refurbishment and development purchases, the firm focuses on short-term finance needs.

A former soldier and award-winning estate agent, Burns is the ‘property brains’ while Mark McBriar provides the financial solutions further to a long career specialising in bridging finance as a broker, borrower and lender. Consequently, Adapt Finance has an in-depth knowledge of both finance and property and how they work together.
