LONDON, September 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Borro, the leading secured lender to wealthy clients, is pleased to announce it has received permission from the FCA to write regulated Bridging and Consumer Buy to Let loans. Regulated property loans will be offered from Monday October 3rd, alongside Borro's existing bridging and luxury asset products.
Paul Aitken, CEO, said "Our property clients are the same as the luxury asset ones, wealthy individuals who want fast access to credit. Offering FCA regulated loans enhances that offering further and it cements our long term commitment to the property lending market."
Overall, Borro expects regulated lending to make up 20% of the £75m in property loans it has planned for the next year.
