Sesame has added April Mortgages to its lender panel. Appointed representatives of Sesame Network can now advise on April’s full suite of mortgage solutions, including its No Deposit mortgage and high loan-to-income products.

April’s No Deposit mortgage, launched earlier this year, is aimed at well-qualified borrowers who pass April’s affordability and credit checks, but who face barriers to homeownership due to limited savings.

Commenting on April Mortgages addition to its panel, Sesame Bankhall group director Toni Smith said: “We’re pleased to welcome April Mortgages to our panel. Their focus on longer-term fixed rates and 100% LTV products gives our members even more strings to their bow when it comes to supporting first-time buyers.

“In the current market, where affordability pressures and deposit hurdles remain a challenge, it’s vital that brokers have access to innovative options that can open the door to homeownership.”

Smith added: “While longer-term fixed rates with flexibility such as that offered by April are relatively new to the UK, there is undoubtedly a growing need for the security they offer, and we are committed to seeking out lender partners who think differently and provide solutions to real-world problems.”
