The Envelop Network has announced it has added Gatehouse Bank to its panel.

The move will provide Envelop Network members with access to Gatehouse’s range of buy-to-let and home purchase plans available to UK residents, UK expats and international residents, and including customers who are employed, self-employed or contractors.

Founded in 2007, Gatehouse is a Shariah-compliant challenger bank and has also invested in three build-to-rent ventures since November 2014, creating thousands of new homes across the UK.

Originally launched in February 2021 as the F4B Network, the Envelop Network was renamed in September 2022 as part of an extensive rebrand by parent company Envelop, after it was formerly known as First 4 Bridging. The number of appointed representatives (ARs) affiliated with the Envelop Network has grown steadily since its launch, and the network is now closing in on 150 AR members.

F4B Network commercial director, Steve Swyny, commented: “With demand for ethical-led financial support rising rapidly amongst people of all faiths, it’s vital that we support our ARs by delivering access to a range of solutions and product types which meet the ever-changing needs of their new and existing clients.

“There are several key differences between Shariah-compliant residential property finance and conventional property finance, and we look forward to working closely with the team at Gatehouse to help educate our advisers and their clients on this important and growing area of the home finance market.”

Head of intermediary sales at Gatehouse, Lottie Clayton, added: “We are delighted to have partnered with The Envelop Network, which has enabled us to support its broker members by providing access to Gatehouse’s competitive products.

“We are looking forward to our continued collaboration as we aim to both educate and raise further awareness of our competitive and flexible buy-to-let and home purchase plans.”
