Available
through Zurich Advice Network (ZAN) and Zurich Mortgage Network (ZMN)
advisers, the lending panel gives 4,000 intermediaries direct access to
Platform's improved range of products and services launched at the beginning
of the year.
Richard Coulson, Zurich Mortgage Network Director, commented: "We are
delighted to welcome Platform on board. With its new, highly competitive
mortgage range, Platform brings a wealth of leading products and expertise
to our panel. It also expands the choices available to our members in terms
of specialist lending and complements the other lenders we currently work
with. This latest addition, which brings the number of members on our panel
to 20, is part of our strategy to further strengthen our lending panel ahead
of mortgage regulation in October."
Zurich's member intermediaries will now be able to take advantage of
Platform's extensive range of products including its market leading bonus
discounts on the Non-Conforming range, unlimited capital raising on all
remortgages and the recent improvements to Buy to Let. Platform's Conforming
product range (Prime, Self-Certification and Buy to Let) will be accessed
via the lender directly by Zurich members, while the Non-Conforming product
range will be offered via Enterprise Homeloans.
Guy Batchelor, Sales & Marketing Director, Platform commented: " We are
delighted to be appointed a member of the Zurich panel. In 2004 we aim to
increase market share and relish the opportunity to deal with the increase
in business brought to us by Zurich, which is widely perceived as one of the
potential 'winners' in the regulated marketplace. We have been working for
some time with Richard to make this happen and this appointment means that
we are now on almost all the major mortgage club panels. With regulation
looming, we feel that such partnerships are vital in our ability to write
volume business after Mortgage Day."
