Advisers across the network will have access to Afin Bank’s support across a range of borrower circumstances, including first-time buyers, self-employed applicants, professionals, high-net-worth clients and foreign nationals living and working in the UK on a valid visa.

The lender offers residential lending of up to 95% loan-to-value and supports cases involving one year’s accounts for self-employed applicants, contractor income, income projections in certain scenarios and bespoke affordability assessments for high-net-worth clients.

It also offers buy-to-let products of up to 75% LTV, including options for first-time landlords and consumer BTL cases.

HLPartnership propositions director Matt Brown says: “Afin Bank adds another option for members placing cases involving self-employed income, contractor status or more complex wealth positions. Broadening our lender panel in this way helps advisers meet client needs more effectively and supports good consumer outcomes.”

Afin Bank senior business development manager John Smith adds: “We’re delighted to be partnering with HLP as we continue to expand Afin Bank’s distribution across key networks. This collaboration reflects a strong alignment in our shared commitment to supporting brokers with flexible, solutions-driven lending.”
