Brightstar Financial has announced it is joining the Mortgage Market Alliance (MMA).
The specialist distributor, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, helps brokers identify solutions for their specialist cases.
Brightstar covers several areas of specialist property finance, including residential mortgages, later life lending, buy-to-let mortgages, second charge mortgages, short-term lending, commercial finance and development finance.
The MMA launched in 2020 to provide a collaborative voice for the mortgage and property finance industry, to help promote the availability of lending and the value of professional advice.
“Joining the MMA was a natural choice for Brightstar as we have campaigned for years about the diverse options available for consumers and the importance of professional advice,” commented Brightstar head of marketing, Michelle Westley.
“By collaborating with other businesses, we will have a louder voice and will hopefully help even more consumers to access the most appropriate lending for their circumstances and objectives.”
MMA director, Rob Griffiths, added: “I’d like to welcome Brightstar as the latest member of the MMA. There are so many opportunities for consumers to access the lending they need in the specialist mortgage market, but the sector is still relatively unknown outside of the industry.
“We are looking forward to working together to raise awareness and understanding about the available options and the importance of professional advice.”
