“As a result, we have seen the amount of business we are writing more than treble, which is an amazing result.”
Nicola Firth, CEO of Knowledge Bank, said: “This is exactly why Knowledge Bank exists; to make life easier for brokers and intermediaries to place cases.
“We now have more than 70,000 individual criteria being kept up to date by more than 150 leading lenders across residential, buy-to-let, equity release, self-build, second charges and overseas mortgages.”
