Leading broker broadens choice for specialist clients with new lender partner

NORWICH, U.K. - July 21, 2016 - PRLog -- Commercial Trust, the buy-to-let and commercial finance broker, is delighted to welcome Axis Bank onto its panel of lenders. The new partnership will allow Commercial Trust to offer more choice to clients in London and the South East when serving their complex buy-to-let requirements.

London and the South East saw the largest increase in supply of rented accommodation in the first quarter of 2016 ¹, demonstrating the region's continued reputation as a safe haven for capital, even in volatile times.

Andrew Turner, Chief Executive of Commercial Trust , believes that the buy-to-let market is changing. "Clients' needs are becoming more complex and it is important that they have a wealth of specialist product options to ensure that they get the best return on their investment," he said. He also remarked that the UK's rental needs are becoming more acute, and that professional, forward-thinking landlords are needed now more than ever.

"Axis has quietly established itself over the past year as a credible player in the specialist market," he said. "Their goals are very much aligned with our own, and we are pleased to be able to broaden our offering of competitive, flexible finance for professional investors."

Axis provides a comprehensive range of solutions to meet the needs of individual, limited company and ex-pat applicants. They provide funding for most property types, including HMOs and multi-unit properties – two growing areas of the market.

Andrew Ferguson, Axis Bank's Head of Buy to Let, is pleased to have added another "highly regarded specialist distributor" to the lender's panel. "Commercial Trust has a good reputation and a growing team, and are highly experienced in dealing with our target clients", he said.

Launched in April 2014, Commercial Trust (https://www.commercialtrust.co.uk/) is already one of the largest commercial finance brokers in the UK. The firm is enjoying growing acclaim due to its client-focused attitude and the dedicated end-to-end service it provides.

Mr Ferguson continued: "I am sure our personal and pragmatic approach to underwriting will help the Commercial Trust team. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with them and their clients."
