Recognise Bank has joined the Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) as a lender member.

Recognise Bank’s bridging range supports residential and commercial property, including buy-to-let portfolios, HMOs, mixed-use and semi-commercial assets, commercial investments and owner-occupied business premises.

The BDLA is the UK’s only trade association dedicated to representing the interests of bridging and development lenders and their customers. Its membership brings together lenders and associate firms from across the sector, including funders, legal firms, valuers, technology providers and other professional services businesses.

Commenting on the panel addition, BDLA chief executive Adam Tyler said:

“It’s a pleasure to welcome Recognise Bank as a Lender Member. Its growing bridging proposition shows how important short-term property finance has become to established banks as well as specialist lenders.

“Recognise brings banking experience, a clear focus on brokers and a strong interest in property lending. That will add depth to our membership and support our work to give the sector a strong and responsible voice.”
