F4B adds Hope Capital to specialist lending panel

First 4 Bridging (F4B) has announced the addition of Hope Capital to its specialist lending panel.

The partnership will see F4B’s intermediary partners and introducers gain access to Hope Capital’s product range – including its new Custom Collection – which incorporates six products, features and options.

Partners will also be able to take advantage of Hope Capital’s recent development which enables it to lend based on AVMs, drive-bys or desktop valuations.

F4B revealed it is in the process of undertaking a review of its panel to ensure that lending partners demonstrate the “highest service standards”, and added that the latest panel addition further bolsters its offering in the short-term finance sector.

“We have always placed a strong emphasis on offering our intermediary partners and introducers access to an extensive lending panel,” F4B director, Donna Wells, commented. “However, it’s more important than ever to ensure that we are aligned with lenders who have fully adjusted to what remains a transitional lending marketplace and who we can rely on to meet shifting client demands in a timely, supportive, flexible and responsible manner.

“As one of the leading bridging finance specialists, Hope Capital certainly ticks all these boxes and its ability to find a solution where others can’t will prove to be a highly positive addition to our lending panel moving forward.”

Hope Capital managing director, Gary Bailey, added: “Bridging is somewhat of an unknown entity for many brokers who don’t deal with bridging day in, day out. F4B has an enviable wealth of experience and aim to guide their brokers through the bridging loan process to find the most suitable product for their client and their circumstances.

“We are delighted to partner with F4B and join their elite panel of lenders where we aim to add choice, value and expertise in the bridging market.”
