Clever Lending is to distribute Kensington Mortgages range of specialist and buy-to-let mortgages. 

The partnership will see Clever Lending handle first charge enquiries, packaging and lender liaison. Brokers are able to now deal directly with Clever Lending.

Sam Kirtikar, managing director at Clever Lending, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Kensington Mortgages. Kensington were identified as a key part of our panel and we are delighted to have them on board. Our expertise in the specialist first charge and buy-to-let markets means we can have a positive impact on their distribution and will also help provide a better service to consumers with income sources that are different to the norm and often rejected by mainstream lenders.

“I’m very much looking forward to a successful partnership.”

Steve Griffiths (pictured), director of sales and distribution at Kensington, added: “Placing a complex case doesn’t have to be complicated and specialist distributors like Clever Lending provide a vital resource for brokers.

“We are looking forward to working with Clever Lending on distributing our core range and developing new products to provide more options for their introducers in the future.”
