L&G launch Platform exclusive

Martyn Smith, head of mortgage products for Legal & General Mortgage Club, said: "This is really good news from Platform and great news for mortgage intermediaries. The market needs a return of confidence and the buy-to-let market has significant opportunities and growth potential for 2011. We are therefore delighted to offer this new buy to let exclusive to our members."

Lee Gladwell, business development director at Platform, added: "This year, we plan to grow our presence in the intermediary market including an increase in our buy to let business. This is because brokers have been telling us of the increased interest they're seeing from cash-rich investors keen to move money from cash savings into property as demand for rental property grows."
