Twinwin Limited, a London-based finance company, fell into administration earlier this month, with Paul Allen and David Hudson of FRP Advisory appointed as joint administrators.
Twinwin is allegedly a related borrower of bridging lender Market Financial Solutions (MFS), which recently entered administration amid claims of fraud. Court filings claim that Twinwin was used to borrow money from MFS funding vehicles against the same properties other borrowers had mortgaged.
According to the claims, some of these transactions used loan documents supposedly drafted by lawyers who said they had never seen them before. Twinwin was also alleged to have skimmed off profit by charging higher interest rates to end clients than it was paying on loans assigned to the funding vehicles, with mortgage repayments reportedly siphoned off.
In accounts for the year to December 31 2024, Twinwin Limited’s current assets were valued at £157.3 million, with total equity amounting to around £732,000.
