MFS joins IMLA to take membership to 70 firms

Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has announced that it is joining the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA).

The Association now comprises a combined total of 70 members, including 54 full members and 16 associate members.

Since forming in 2006, MFS has provided a range of bridging loans and more recently buy-to-let mortgages, to both private individuals and commercial borrowers in the UK market. The company is also a member of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers, the Association of Short-Term Lenders, and the Financial Intermediary and Broker Association.

The lender will be represented at IMLA meetings by its chief mortgage officer, Mike Cook.

“It is a pleasure to welcome MFS as the latest full member of IMLA,” commented IMLA executive director, Kate Davies.

“MFS has established itself as a reputable and innovative lender that understands the importance of working closely with intermediaries to deliver the best outcomes for borrowers. We look forward to working with them as they join the discussion on key business issues facing intermediary-based mortgage lenders.”

MFS CEO, Paresh Raja, added: “We are excited to have joined IMLA and to have the opportunity to collaborate with other industry professionals to shape the future of the intermediary lending market.

“As a lender that works regularly with intermediaries to distribute our products, we recognise the importance of engaging with organisations like IMLA to ensure we are delivering the best possible outcomes for our customers.”
