CHL Mortgages has been added to Brilliant Solutions’ lending panel.

This partnership will provide Brilliant Solutions’ membership of directly authorised (DA) brokers with access to CHL’s specialist buy-to-let product range. This is available to first-time landlords, portfolio landlords and limited companies covering a variety of buy-to-let investment vehicles including HMOs and MUFBs.

Brilliant Solutions is a direct to lender mortgage club specialising in mortgages, buy-to-let, bridging and secured loans.

After relaunching its proposition with a select panel of distributors in May 2021, CHL Mortgages has since implemented a phased approach to growing distribution channels, including a number of networks, mortgage clubs and intermediary brands.

Andy Valvona, national account manager at CHL Mortgages, said: “2021 was a highly successful year for CHL Mortgages as we ramped up our lending proposition and distribution channels in a strategic way to cope with growing landlord demand. However, we were also mindful that we were able to service this demand in the manner it deserved.

“Brilliant Solutions is an established brand within the intermediary sector who provides excellent levels of service to their growing membership base which matches our own high standards. It’s these types of partnerships which will help elevate the CHL proposition to the next level and allow us to really push on in 2022 as we look to further extend our lending volumes.”

Michael Craig (pictured), sales director at Brilliant Solutions, added: “The return of CHL Mortgages was a huge boost for the intermediary buy-to-et and their addition to our lending panel will allow members to access the types of products, technology and service values which will make a real difference for their landlord clients.

“We are expecting big things of the specialist lending market in 2022 and this is a great start to what is likely to be an opportunity-laden year for our members.”
