Catalyst Property Finance ups bridging LTVs

Published on

Catalyst Property Finance has reintroduced a higher LTV bridging product up to 70% LTV.

The lender had previously launched a temporarily restricted range capped at 60% LTV due to Covid-19 market uncertainty.

Chris Fairfax (pictured), CEO at Catalyst Property Finance, said: “Recently, stated our risk would be closely monitored and updated as soon as we felt it prudent to do so. Having undertaken a credit review, and in liaison with our valuer panel, we are now in a position to bring back our 70% LTV bridging product.  

“What’s underpinned this decision is understanding that the immediate and anticipated longerlasting impacts of Covid-19 on the residential property market are now being riskfactored into valuations; so it is only fair to our brokers and borrowers that we move quickly to provide improved LTVs. 

“Catalyst continues to access a valuation panel who can safely inspect and report in line with HM Government and RICS guidelines. In addition, we can accept AVM/desktop and drive-by valuations, subject to meeting criteria.

“Catalyst is fully committed to providing brokers and their clients with short-term finance throughout this tricky time.”
