Simplybiz Mortgages and the Financial Intermediary & Broker Association (FIBA) have expanded their joint Specialist Property Finance Panel with the addition of two sourcing partners, Brickflow and Provide.
The platforms have joined the panel with immediate effect, allowing users to search across the bridging, development finance, specialist buy-to-let and commercial mortgage markets.
Both firms are existing partners of FIBA. Brickflow provides access to a panel of more than 160 lenders and close to 2,000 product variations, enabling brokers to identify property finance solutions within minutes. Provide offers access to property and business finance options across the four core specialist property finance sectors and can generate up to 200 lending options in seconds.
The sourcing platforms join a panel which already offers education, training, information on the Certified Practitioner in Specialist Property Finance qualification and a simplified panel of supporting lenders for members of Simplybiz Mortgages and FIBA.
Martin Reynolds, chairman at FIBA, said: “We have been keen to provide existing and future panel users with the support, tools and technology they need to deliver good customer outcomes, allowing them to approach client requirements with confidence.
“We know this is particularly important to the firms who have told us they are currently taking steps to diversify their business models to meet more client demand.
“Sourcing technology delivers many attributes, with speed and efficiency the most obvious. The addition of two platforms, Brickflow and Provide, additionally offers users choice and flexibility, and we thank both teams for their support.”
Miranda Khadr, founder at Provide, added: “Having supported FIBA members for a while now, we are delighted to become an integral part of the Specialist Property Finance Panel, where we will be able to support Simplybiz Mortgages members in the fulfilment of their clients’ specialist requirements.
“Using technology that supports the sourcing of deals across a range of defined complex areas, backed by an expert support team, will ensure members will be able to meet client requirements across semi-commercial finance, commercial finance, bridging, development and refurbishment requirements quickly, and without any hassle.”
Frazer Campbell, co-founder and chief revenue officer at Brickflow, said: “We’re delighted to be joining the Specialist Property Finance Panel as a sourcing partner and to further strengthen our longstanding relationship with FIBA.
“At Brickflow, our focus has always been on simplifying and accelerating access to specialist property finance. By connecting brokers to more than 150 lenders across bridging, development finance, specialist buy-to-let and commercial mortgages, we enable advisers to search the market efficiently, compare options transparently, and secure the right outcomes for their clients in minutes.”
