Jo Breeden, managing director at CSF (pictured above), said: “It is imperative that our lending panel is always growing and evolving across all sectors so we know we are giving brokers access to the whole gambit of market-leading products; the agreement with Kensington Mortgages definitely fulfils those criteria.

“Across both specialist residential and buy-to-let, the products bring a new dimension, offering the right criteria to meet complex requirements as well as more straightforward applications.”

Craig McKinlay, new business director at Kensington Mortgages, added: “Society is changing at such speed that lenders and brokers of all kinds need to be constantly evolving their product offerings.”
