Interbridge marks one year in second charges with £250m milestone

Published on

Interbridge Mortgages has marked its first year of lending in the second charge mortgage market with a series of achievements, including helping more than 7,000 customers and delivering over £250 million in funding.

The lender, which launched on 16 May 2024, has built its presence in the sector with a business model based on speed, transparency and a tech-led approach to service delivery.

Its digital platform offers a fully paperless application journey and real-time updates, which the company says is central to its efficiency and responsiveness.

Over the past 12 months, Interbridge has maintained a TrustPilot rating of 4.9, which it attributes to its sustained focus on customer satisfaction and broker support. The lender has positioned itself as a partner-first operation, working closely with specialist intermediaries to simplify the process for advisers and their clients.

Jonny Jones, chief executive at Interbridge Mortgages, said the company’s first year had set a benchmark not only for its own ambitions but for the wider second charge market.

“Reflecting on our first year of lending, I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved,” he said. “I feel we’ve had a really positive impact, driving more innovation and more competition, ultimately leading to improved offerings for customers across the whole second charge industry. There has never been a better time to take out a second charge mortgage. This past year, prices have come down, the application process has become simpler, and borrowers can access their funds more quickly.”

He added that while volumes and growth were significant, the customer feedback meant the most to the team. “Personally, what I’m most proud of is our 4.9 TrustPilot customer rating. I read every review and they really reinforce why we do what we do. As we enter our second year, we’re eager to build on this success.

“Our focus remains on continuous innovation, strengthening broker relationships, and leveraging technology to further streamline the second charge process. Ultimately delivering a lending experience that redefines industry standards.”
