Castle Trust Bank has joined the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) as a patron of the Association.
Established in 1992, the NACFB is the largest trade association for commercial finance brokers in the UK.
The Association partners with members to foster professional expertise and embrace high industry and regulatory standards, including engagement with stakeholders, to support businesses within the sector.
Castle Trust Bank has been providing short and medium-term buy to let and holiday let specialist finance for over 10 years.
The bank considers applications across England and Wales from a range of property investors including complex structures, limited companies, overseas ownership, portfolio landlords, first-time landlords, ex-pats and foreign nationals, and the firm will use holiday let income rather than AST in their affordability calculations.
“We are delighted to join the NACFB as a patron, and to support the services that its broker members provide to property investors,” commented managing director of property at Castle Trust Bank, Barry Searle. “Our status as a bank enables us to provide certainty of funding, which has never been more important to brokers and their clients than it is at the moment.
“We have a dedicated bridging team that uses its skills and experience to find solutions to situations that others may consider too complex to consider.”
