The loan product was created in response to demand from Blend’s existing borrower base. The platform has funded several refurbishment projects in recent months, including a restoration scheme of 10 historical properties in Gloucestershire.
“We are thrilled to bring this finance product to market – reacting quickly to the market needs,” said Paul Watson, head of lending at Blend Network.
