• JMW Solicitors
• Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors

In addition, the lender has updated its broker portal to allow advisers to select one of the new solicitors on new HMO or multi-unit DiP or full mortgage applications.

Grant Hendry, director of sales at Foundation Home Loans, said: “Following feedback from our intermediary partners, we are pleased to announce that we have agreed an extended panel of solicitor firms with specific expertise in specialist property purchases and remortgages. 

“These types of properties continue to be very popular with landlords and are an important part of our BTL proposition, and by offering a wider range of legal firms to our broker partners shows our commitment to supporting this market.”

Earlier this month, Foundation Home Loans has introduced a suite of enhancements to its fee-assisted BTL offering and expanded its ABC+ green BTL product range.
