BEST SHORT-TERM
LENDER WINNERS

Fantastic news! We were named Best Short-term Lender at the 2024 Financial Reporter Awards.

Brokers, thanks so much for your support. This win means the world to us because it’s voted for by you.

We offer bridging finance for both regulated and unregulated scenarios. As the first mutual to provide this, we’re so proud to be recognised. This really is testament to the fantastic work from our dedicated bridging and wider mortgage teams, who consistently deliver a personal, proactive service. A huge congratulations to our colleagues!

Here’s a snapshot of some of our bridging finance achievements over the past 12 months:

✔ Increased our bridging business by 84%, helping even more of you and your clients

✔ Enhanced support – our award-winning service was delivered by an expanded team of bridging experts, and we launched a minimum 24-hour product withdrawal guarantee 

✔ Introduced more bridging products and broadened criteria to say yes to even more scenarios. Alongside existing variable rates, we launched a fixed rate range. We also provided extra flexibility for high net worth clients

✔ Optimised our bridging turnaround times – especially for simple, well-packaged cases

✔ Launched Case Hub – our online application system with 24/7 access

And that’s not all…

We were also honoured to have been nominated in the Best Building Society/Mutual category, what a fantastic achievement all round. Our Bridging Finance Specialist, William Edwards, and Senior Mortgage Underwriter, Nicky Vaughan, were there to collect our Best Short-term Lender trophy on the night, take a look below for some pictures…
