Brightstar Financial has joined the panel of new secured loans lender Masthaven Secured Loans.

The national intermediary hub for specialist lending, which launched its standalone bridging helpdesk for introducers this month, is one of a select group of specialist distributors to have been chosen to market Masthaven products.

“It is a huge vote of confidence in our set up that Masthaven, as a new lender, has included Brightstar on its panel,” said Bradley Moore, head of second charge lending at Brightstar.

“We are particularly excited by the buy-to-let facility which Masthaven has launched and know that our brokers are going to appreciate the extra flexibility this gives their clients. I have been particularly impressed with Masthaven’s desire to create a simple product matrix with good maximum loan sizes and the same criteria for employed and self employed applicants.”

Stuart Aitken, chief operating officer at Masthaven Secured Loans, added: “We are very pleased to have Brightstar Financial on board. Having worked with the company’s principals in the past and knowing their pedigree and depth of market understanding we are sure that introducers will receive the best possible service.”
