Connect adds West One to bridging panel

Connect for Intermediaries has added West One Loans to its bridging panel.

Brokers will be able to access West One Loans either through Connect’s specialist mortgage network or packager.

West One will provide brokers using Connect with LTVs of up to 75% and rates from 0.55% a month.

This announcement brings the total number of lenders on Connect’s bridging panel to 16 and comes just two weeks after Connect announced its partnership with Octane Capital.

Liz Syms (pictured), chief executive of Connect for Intermediaries said: “The opportunity to work with innovative specialist bridging lenders like West One Loans and Octane Capital helps brokers using Connect for Intermediaries to provide a wider range of solutions to their clients in need of a bridging loan.

“West One will broaden what we can offer to brokers and I know that their addition to our panel will be highly valued to the brokers that we work with.”

Marie Grundy, sales director at West One Loans, added: “Fast, flexible decision-making is at the heart of West One’s approach to bridging.

“It is critical to have a partner like Connect for Intermediaries, who really understands the requirements of the bridging market.

“They have an outstanding reputation for helping brokers and their clients to find the right solution, so we are really pleased to be a valued addition to its panel.”
