Sesame launches specialist lending panel

Sesame has launched a specialist finance panel to broaden its members’ access to second charge mortgages, residential and buy-to-let packagers, commercial mortgages and bridging loans.

The panel consists of specialist distributors Promise Solutions, 3mc, AToM, CFB UK, Enterprise Finance, Mortgages for Business, Positive Lending, TBMC and Vantage Finance.

Jane Benjamin, head of lender relationships at Sesame Bankhall Group, said: “We have seen a steady rise in demand for specialist lending solutions as firms look to cater for an increasingly diverse range of customer needs.

“Until now advisers have had to work across a wide range of different providers in order to access the products they need for their customers.

“The specialist lending panel we have launched today will provide an all-encompassing solution for advisers and their customers.”

The panel is fully compliant with the Mortgage Credit Directive rules that come into force on Monday.

Benjamin added: “Ahead of the MCD implementation we have conducted a thorough review of the market in order to ensure we partner with the right providers who share our commitment to servicing the intermediary market and can offer our members a broad range of quality solutions.

“We are confident that our new streamlined service will make it noticeably easier for advisers to provide specialist lending solutions to their customers.”
