“The specialist buy-to-let lending market is developing more quickly than any other time I can remember,” said Paul Brett, managing director – intermediaries at Landbay.
“So quickly in fact, that for advisers it is sometimes difficult to access the idiosyncrasies surrounding criteria and that is why we have been so impressed with Criteria Hub. Their platform makes it so easy to interrogate the mass of data that makes up criteria from the increasing number of lenders and products in the specialist lending space.”
