F4B adds Castle Trust to lending panel

First 4 Bridging (F4B) has announced the addition of investment and mortgage specialist, Castle Trust, to its lending panel.

The distributor suggested the latest addition will provide F4B’s intermediary partners and introducers with access to Castle Trust’s range of specialist lending solutions – including short-term finance, second charge loans, complex buy-to-let and development finance.

Castle Trust’s addition to the panel comes in the same month F4B announced it had become the chosen distribution provider for the Beneficial Network.

F4B head of sales, Steve Swyny, commented: “As a specialist distributor, we value flexible approaches to lending which have the ability to consider each case on an individual basis and be able to mould products to suit a range of client requirements.

“Castle Trust is a lender who offers our intermediary partners something different through its common-sense bespoke approach to bridging loans and specialist lending. We look forward to working closely with the team to deliver a range of alternative solutions for our ever-expanding client base.”

Castle Trust managing director property, Barry Searle, added: “We are delighted that F4B has chosen to partner with Castle Trust. As a specialist packager with a wealth of experience, F4B really understands our bridging and development finance propositions and is very well placed to help brokers navigate these markets.

“Its focus on high standards and efficient service levels align closely with our own, making this a natural match that will support brokers throughout the life of their case.”
