Separate deals expand broker access to specialist and long-term products
The Right Mortgage & Protection Network (TRM) and Brilliant Solutions have expanded their lender panels, giving brokers greater access to specialist lending options.
TRM has added April Mortgages to its panel, offering members access to the lender’s range of long-term fixed rate mortgages. April Mortgages provides five- to 15-year fixed rate products for home movers, remortgagors and first-time buyers, including a 100% loan-to-value option.
Key product features include no early repayment charges for overpayments or clearing the mortgage using personal funds or inheritance, uncapped overpayments, automatic rate reductions as the LTV falls, and loan-to-income multiples of up to seven times. The lender also offers Interest Only+, a product designed to give borrowers more financial flexibility through lower monthly payments.
Brokers will have direct access to underwriters and can use tools such as the AffordAbility+ Calculator, rate drop calculator and broker guides through April’s website.
“At The Right Mortgage, we are always keen to work with lenders who have a unique range of products and criteria, and who want to distribute through professional advisers,” said Victoria Clark (pictured left), head of lending at The Right Mortgage.
“This is why we’re very pleased to be adding April Mortgages to our lender panel; they offer long-term fixed rate mortgages with a twist, in terms of the amount they can lend, the ability of the borrower to make overpayments, and a different approach to ERCs.”
Meanwhile, mortgage club and packager Brilliant Solutions has also added Market Harborough Building Society to its lender panel. The partnership is aimed at expanding access to specialist and complex case lending, including bridging finance.
Brilliant Solutions members will now be able to access Market Harborough’s mortgage and bridging products for loans up to £5 million. The building society offers a bespoke underwriting approach, daily Credit Committee decisions, and support for complex scenarios across residential, buy-to-let, holiday let, expat, and bridging loans. Its mortgages are tiered by case complexity, with loans starting from £200,000.
“Market Harborough brings a thoughtful, case-by-case approach that truly resonates with our brokers,” said Michael Craig (pictured right), managing director at Brilliant Solutions. “Their ability to support complex cases and bridging finance scenarios up to £5 million, alongside their Best for Brokers Promise for personal service and dependable decision-making, sets them apart and makes them a valuable addition to our panel.”
