The new partners include Watts Commercial Finance, The Buy to Let Broker, Dynamo for Intermediaries and Charleston Financial Services.

The programme recognises key broker firms that submit a high level of consistent business to LendInvest and is said to provide a range of benefits.

Firms that are awarded strategic partner status can access staff to service their cases, regular review meetings and bespoke training, and preview new, exclusive products and criteria changes ahead of full launch.

The lender’s strategic partners are also invited to focus groups, events, webinars, and meetings with key business stakeholders and its founders.
