The Mayfair HQ offices of Market Financial Solutions (MFS), the controversial mortgage lender that collapsed into administration in February 2026, have been put on the market for offers over £11.5 million. 

Nick Edwards and Graham Bushby of RSM, administrators of Mayfair (HS) Ltd, have appointed Watling Real Estate as sole agents to sell 46 Hertford Street, a Grade II listed office building. 

Jamie Lamond, a director in the London office of Watling, said: “This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a freehold townhouse / office in the heart of Mayfair and close to Park Lane, Curzon Street and Shepherd Market.” 

The Georgian townhouse features original period details throughout, and extends to approximately 5,053 sq ft (NIA) over, lower-ground, ground and four upper floors. 

Lamond explained that there was also a lapsed 2015 planning permission to convert the upper parts into four one bedroom apartments. 

The property is located towards the eastern end of Hertford Street, close to its junction with Shepherd Street. 

Lamond added: “Hertford Street is famous for being a quiet, historic residential haven right in the heart of Mayfair. It is close to the commercial heart of London and yet only a short walk from both Hyde Park and Green Park. 

“With Shepherd Market on the doorstep too, there is easy access to a bustling area packed with boutique shops, traditional British pubs, and gourmet restaurants. 

“Mayfair is a world famous address which is synonymous with some of the world’s most prestigious retailers, fashion houses, art galleries, jewellers, and haute couture brands, and we are anticipating strong interest in the chance to acquire a property with so much asset management potential, subject to planning permission.”
