Knowledge Bank has formed a strategic partnership with BuildLoan.

The collaboration aims to provide enhanced support for mortgage brokers that focus on self-build financing after the introduction of Consumer Duty regulations last year.

The duo will provide brokers with the expertise, tools, and resources needed to navigate the self-build market.

Brokers can use Knowledge Bank to understand the key lending criteria for self-build finance, then contact BuildLoan directly from their Knowledge Bank account to use their expertise in finding the right Consumer Duty-compliant solution for their home-building client.

Knowledge Bank chief executive officer Nicola Firth says: “We’re excited to partner with BuildLoan at such a pivotal time for both the mortgage industry and the self-build market. This partnership will enable brokers to better serve their clients, particularly with the increased scrutiny under Consumer Duty.”

BuildLoan chief executive officer Raymond Connor adds: “By partnering with Knowledge Bank, we’re ensuring that mortgage brokers have the support they need to guide their clients through the self-build process, from securing finance to completing their dream homes.”
