Legal & General Mortgage Club updates commercial lending panel

The new panel sees master brokers Synergy and Connect for Intermediaries join existing partner Omega; all three are members of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers.

Paul Hopton, relationship and development manager at Legal & General Mortgage Club, said: “Legal & General Mortgage Club is committed to being a one-stop shop for our broker partners, no matter what their mortgage need may be.

“The opportunities in the commercial lending space are growing fast, and with the PRA’s changes to portfolio buy-to-let fast approaching, more brokers will be looking to commercial loans to help their clients gain access to the funding they need.

“We are delighted to welcome Synergy and Connect on to our commercial loans panel alongside our existing partner Omega.

“We firmly believe this new panel forms an attractive proposition of master brokers to help intermediaries gain access to the best rates in the market.”

Piotr Twaits, sales director at Synergy, said it was delighted to be partnering with L&G Mortgage Club.

“We have developed a close working relationship with L&G Mortgage Club and see this partnership being a strong addition to what the club offers its members and their clients.”

Liz Syms, managing director at Connect for Intermediaries, added: “Connect for Intermediaries has been arranging commercial mortgages and development loans for many years and so we are in the perfect position to help L&G broker members, whether it is their first commercial or development enquiry, or an experienced adviser looking to offer great lender choice to their clients.”

Mark Jones, director of Omega Group, said: “We are delighted to continue as an approved partner of the mortgage club, and have enjoyed working both with the Legal & General team and also all members of the mortgage club since being added to the panel in 2009.

“We look forward to continued growth of the successful relationships already built over this time in what is our 25^th year as a commercial and specialist finance broker.”
