Specialist lender Glenhawk has signed a deal with Knowledge Bank that will see its regulated and unregulated products available on the broker search criteria platform.

Knowledge Bank’s platform has over 125,000 individual criteria and lists products from over 250 lenders across the UK.

The lender says Knowledge Bank’s registered brokers will have access to its criteria, which covers residential, mixed commercial, second charge and refurbishment that “can be turned around in as quickly as five days”.

It adds: “With borrowers increasingly seeking alternative financing solutions to complete transactions before the end of the stamp duty holiday, the partnership will support Glenhawk’s loan book growth.”

Glenhawk director of sales Jamie Pritchard says: “I know the power and opportunity that being part of Knowledge Bank provides for a lender, as we look to reach an even wider customer base with our regulated and unregulated bridging proposition.

“Specialist lending is based on brokers understanding the criteria of the cases that they have in front of them, and Knowledge Bank provides Glenhawk with access to thousands of brokers.

“This is an ideal time for Glenhawk to partner with Knowledge Bank as we continue to enhance and widen both our product proposition and distribution base.”

Knowledge Bank operations director Matthew Corker adds: “The specialist lender’s common sense approach to short term lending, regulated and unregulated product options, large maximum loan amount and fast turnaround times are sure to make them extremely popular with our members.”

In January, Glenhawk joined the Loans Warehouse bridging panel.

The specialist broker said the move was a response to increasing demand for short-term finance.
