Knowledge Bank has welcomed West One and Saffron Building Society as the latest lenders to have completed their criteria and are live on the platform.

Both lenders have finalised and published their criteria via KB PRO, meaning brokers can now include them within searches and view their responses alongside other lenders instantly.

By adding West One and Saffron Building Society to the platform brokers can compare their development appetite against other lenders in a single search, criteria can be filtered, sorted and evidenced using our ‘Evidence of Research’ PDF and any updates made by the lenders go live immediately (or at a scheduled time).

This comes after Knowledge Bank announced it had launched a dedicated development finance lending type on its platform earlier this month.

Knowledge Bank says it is also seeing continued growth in the bridging space, with Central Trust and Charterbank now part of the bridging lenders available to search.

Commenting on the announcement, Saffron Building Society head of business development Tony Hall says: “Property development finance is a key area of focus for us and being live on Knowledge Bank is an important step in making our criteria more accessible to the broker community.”

“We’ve seen a clear uplift in proposition awareness, and we’re committed to converting this into business growth. This partnership allows us to communicate the strengths of our development finance proposition in a fresh way and ensures brokers can quickly identify how we can support their clients’ projects.”
