The F4B Network has announced that Hodge Bank has been added to its lending panel.
Members of the F4B Network will have access to Hodge’s range of specialist residential and buy-to-let (BTL) products, with a particular focus on its holiday let proposition and portfolio BTL product where one loan covers multiple properties.
Created on the back of demand from intermediary introducers at parent company F4B, the F4B Network has assembled a lending panel consisting of mainstream, BTL, specialist and short-term finance lenders, as well as an array of protection and GI providers.
The network also offers full compliance support and a tech package consisting of features such as remote file checking, research tools and a PI insurance package.
F4B Network commercial director, Steve Swyny, commented: “Hodge is one of the most established yet innovative specialist lenders operating in the mortgage market. It is a lender who works closely with intermediaries to ensure each case is viewed individually so the best outcomes can be delivered.
“We are seeing an uplift in BTL business with the holiday let market rapidly expanding due to the Covid situation and Hodge’s portfolio product is already stimulating interest amongst our advisers as very few lenders offer such a facility.
“This is a panel addition which will help better service an increasingly diverse set of borrowing requirements and we will continue working with lenders who offer value and a real point of difference for our members and their clients.”
Hodge business development director, Emma Graham, added: “We’re really excited to have been added to F4B Network’s panel and we’re always looking at ways we can adapt and improve our proposition to provide intermediaries with specialist mortgage options they can utilise to help their clients.
“In a year like no other, people are facing big changes in their financial circumstances – good and bad – so flexibility has never been more important. We provide that and go out of our way to support both brokers and customers.”
