LendInvest partners with Legal & General to extend buy-to-let distribution

By Bridging Loan Directory 5th March 2020

LendInvest, the UK’s leading platform for property finance, has joined Legal & General Mortgage Club’s lender panel to extend distribution of its Buy-to-Let product to more brokers.

The club’s member firms will now be able to register with LendInvest and access its full range of Buy-to-Let and HMO mortgage products.

Legal & General Mortgage Club is one of the largest and longest-running mortgage clubs in the UK, involved in around 30% of the intermediary mortgage market.

LendInvest’s two-year fixed rates currently start from 2.89%, and five-year fixed rates from 3.19%. ICR assessment rate is 5% across all products, with the exception of the 5 year fixed interest product which remains at 3.6%.

In January, LendInvest increased the maximum loan size for both large HMO’s and MUFB’s to £3,000,000, and introduced a large loan range for standard properties and small HMO’s, with products available for up to £2m at a maximum of 70% LTV.

This partnership supports the businesses ambition to ramp up the distribution of its BTL product on a national level.

Ian Boden, pictured, Sales Director at LendInvest, commented:

“We are very excited to be announcing this partnership with one of the largest, and longest-operating mortgage clubs in the market. Experience is crucial in our industry, and it’s something Legal & General aren’t short of.

After a great year for the product, the team are now all systems go in getting more, good quality deals through the door. Working with a mortgage club with Legal & General’s expertise is a fantastic way to kick off our distribution plans for the year.”

Danny Belton, Head of Lender Relationships for L&G Mortgage Club added:

“Although LendInvest are a relative newcomer to the BTL market, their products and criteria offer another great option for many landlords. I am delighted to add LendInvest to the Legal & General Mortgage Club lender panel so that we can work in partnership to provide our members with access to their proposition.”
