Donny Moeladi, commercial director of ADV2, said: “We are extremely excited about the launch of ADV2 as we believe that the seconds market is ready for innovation in product design and we plan to lead from the front.

Danny Waters, operations director at Enterprise Finance, added: “This is an excellent opportunity for us to work closely with a forward-thinking lender and help influence product design and operational processes. ADV2 adds tremendous value to brokers, and we expect it to be in high demand. With four on-site ADV2 underwriters at our offices, we will also be making the ADV2 range available through selected master brokers.”

Simon Tyler, managing director at Chase De Vere Mortgage Management, said: “It will be a useful tool, but you’ve got to be experienced to be able to do secured loans. Brokers are advised to know their limits as there’s enough first charge business to deal with.”
