Primis has added April Mortgages to its lender panel, giving advisers within the network access to the lender’s range of longer-term fixed-rate home loans.

April offers house purchase mortgages with rates from 4.99% and fixed terms of five, 10 and 15 years. Loan-to-income ratios stretch to up to seven times, placing the lender among the more flexible providers in the market for higher-income borrowers and first-time buyers.

The partnership marks a step in April’s expansion plan as it looks ahead to next year. Rachael Hunnisett (pictured), April’s director of mortgage distribution, said: “Our partnership with Primis marks a significant expansion for April, as we set our sights on ambitious growth plans into 2026.

“At April, we’ve always believed that great outcomes start with great advice, Primis’ focus on advice excellence made this a natural partnership.

“With over 2,900 advisers and 1,000 firms across their network, Primis has built a community that puts the borrower at the centre of every decision.

“By pairing their expertise with our flexible, longer-term products, we’re giving advisers more ways to help customers make confident, advice-led choices for the long term. Because when expert advice meets modern mortgages, borrowers don’t just buy homes, they keep them.”

Craig Hall, strategic partnerships director at LSL Financial Services, said: “Primis is delighted to announce the appointment of April Mortgages to our panel for all our member firms.”

He added: “April’s product range is truly innovative. They are forward-thinking in their first-time buyer solutions, offering up to seven times incomes and their 100% ‘no deposit’ mortgage.

“These mortgages are an important addition to our advisers’ product portfolio at a time when alternative products are really needed in this market.”
