Connect for Intermediaries has added April Mortgages to its lender panel, making Connect one of a restricted number of networks where advisers can access April’s product range

April’s product suite includes fixed rate terms from five to 15 years, uncapped overpayments, and interest rates that automatically reduce as the loan-to-value improves.

With lending of up to six times income and a minimum income threshold of £24,000, April lends around 25% more than the average high street bank.

Connect said its strategic partnership with April is part of a commitment to offer advisers access to “distinctive, client-focused lenders”.

Director, mortgages at Connect, Jane Benjamin, commented: “April Mortgages is an exciting and exclusive addition to the Connect panel. Its forward-thinking lending and flexible criteria perfectly align with how our brokers work and what their clients need. We’re proud to be one of the only networks offering access to this powerful proposition.”

Director of mortgage distribution at April Mortgages, Rachael Hunnisett, added: “We’re delighted to be working with Connect Mortgage Distribution, whose expertise and reach make it the perfect partner to share the unique benefits of our modern longer-term fixed rate with borrowers.

“We believe in giving customers greater certainty and control over their homeownership, and this new partnership helps make that vision a reality.”
