Specialist lender Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has joined financial advice network In Partnership’s lender panel.
In Partnership was founded in 2000 and offers whole-of-market service to its members, and their advisers will now be able to access the lender’s bridging and buy-to-let (BTL) products.
MFS specialises in large and complex loans at pace, offering loans of up to £50m with terms of between three and 24 months.
The lender offered deferred interest, rolled-up interest and top-slicing in its BTL mortgage range, which can maximum leverage and loan size.
Karen Rodrigues (pictured), head of sales at MFS, said: “We’re always looking for new lender panels to join, and we are really excited to [be] working with In Partnership’s advisers to help them place even the most complex of cases.
“In the current economic climate, we know that brokers are in need of flexibility, which is why we are committed to providing tailored solutions that meet their clients’ evolving needs. Our new ‘Bridge Fusion’ product is a clear example of this, and I look forward to seeing it be used by a broader network of intermediaries in the months ahead.
“Alongside all our other bridging and BTL products, we’re on hand to provide the support and products that brokers and their clients will need to navigate the coming months with confidence.”
Tim Coghill, head of strategic partnerships at In Partnership, added: “MFS are well-known for their market-leading range of bridging and BTL products, so I’m sure that our members will benefit greatly from this exciting new partnership.
“In the current transitional economic and political climate, MFS’ dedication to offering both certainty and flexibility is precisely what our advisers are after. I look forward to seeing our network make use of their financial products to better serve the needs of their clients.”
MFS has recently joined HLPartnership and New Leaf’s panels, and the lender has also renewed and upsized funding lines to over £1bn to back further lending.
