Lee Gladwell, business development director at Platform, said: “These exclusive intermediary products provide brokers with a range of competitive deals to offer their clients.

“The fee options on the buy-to-let range give additional flexibility to match a product to the needs of the borrower. We’ve built these into our portfolio because our intermediary partners told us it’s what they want in the marketplace.

“This launch is part of our strategy to continue our support for the intermediary sector and grow our presence in the market, particularly in the buy-to-let market.”
