(UTB) has launched a ‘Fast-Track’ service for bridging applications.
This new service was soft launched in Q4 2020 and the feedback has been positive according to UTB.
Supported by a Fast-Track team, the aim of this new service for loans meeting qualifying criteria is to simplify the process for straightforward transactions, making it quicker and easier for brokers to get loans approved and paid out.
Brokers are able to create their own terms, DIPs and ESIS using UTB’s self-service broker portal, or liaising with the in-house UTB Fast-Track team if they prefer.
Fast-Track utilises some of UTB’s existing fintech solutions and unique services such as biometric ID verification, AVMs and dual-legal presentation, to progress the application to offer and drawdown quickly and easily.
(pictured), co-founder of Loans Warehouse, added: “We are delighted to welcome Glenhawk to our panel.
“As Loans Warehouse starts to work with more mortgage networks in 2021 it is key that we have a bridging team and panel that has the same skills and reputation as that earned by their second charge colleagues.
“Increasing and improving our lender panel and headcount is therefore key to our 2021 distribution plans.”
Nick Hilton, managing director at Glenhawk, said: “We are excited to have partnered with Loans Warehouse.
“We have been really impressed by the way they have such a client centric approach, always putting the client’s needs first, ensuring fairness and transparency at all stages of the process.
UTB rolls out fast bridging service

United Trust Bank has launched its ‘fast-track’ bridging services across the UK.
Soft launched towards the end of last year, the service aims to streamline bridging applications by allowing users to either create their own terms, Dips, and ESIS through the lender’s broker portal or with the help of a special fast-track term.
UTB says that technology such as biometric ID verification, AVMs and dual legal presentation are harnessed to make things quicker and easier.
The criteria for a fast-track application are loan at up to 55 per cent LTV with a maximum of £500,000 sought and a maximum of two security properties – AVMs and/or valuations.
