First 4 Bridging (F4B) has announced the addition of Hampshire Trust Bank to its lending panel.
The specialist distributor revealed that its latest partnership will provide its intermediary partners with access to Hampshire Trust Bank’s range of specialist mortgage solutions – which includes bridging, refurbishment, development exit finance, HMO and semi-commercial mortgages.
The announcement comes on the back of F4B overseeing a lending panel review after evaluating specialist lending practices during the COVID-19 crisis.
“Many specialist lenders have enhanced their reputations during this period, but it’s also fair to say that some have been found wanting,” F4B head of sales, Steve Swyny, commented.
“As a specialist distributor, it’s our responsibility to ensure that introducers and intermediary partners have access to the types of lenders who are fully transparent and can deliver flexible product ranges supported by the highest professional values.
“We remain committed to working with lenders such as Hampshire Trust Bank who provide innovative, bespoke, complex funding solutions backed by strong service standards.”
Hampshire Trust Bank commercial director, Alex Upton, added: “Our focus is to ensure our proposition reaches the widest group of expert intermediaries that also share our values and way of working with borrowers.
“We’re delighted to be joining the F4B panel which further ensures we can help deliver the strength of Hampshire Trust Bank's lending power to some of the most highly qualified and engaged brokers in our industry.”
