Zephyr joins PMS and Sesame panels; Cambridge BS adds exclusive deal with Liquid Expat – round-up

Directly authorised members of PMS and Sesame Network members will now have direct access to Zephyr’s buy-to-let product range. 

Speaking to Specialist Lending Solutions earlier this month, Zephyr managing director Paul Fryers, said the lender was ready to begin the second phase of its broker market expansion with more distribution agreements on the horizon.

Commenting on the deal, Fryers added: “In this dynamic buy-to-let market, we aim to support mortgage advisers to help them meet the diverse needs of their customers.   

“We are delighted to launch with PMS and Sesame and look forward to working together over the coming months to further this important partnership.”

Stephanie Charman (pictured), specialist lending relationship manager at Sesame and PMS, said: “The buy-to-let landscape continues to evolve in terms of choice and complexity. 

“It’s essential for us to ensure we have an extensive lending panel available for mortgage advisers, which comprises both standard and specialist buy-to-let products and criteria.” 

Cambridge BS partnership with Liquid Expat 

The Cambridge Building Society has announced it will be taking its expat lending proposition to a wider audience, by partnering with Liquid Expat.   

Liquid Expat is a specialist expat mortgage service, and The Cambridge said it hoped this partnership would further demonstrate its ongoing commitment to this type of borrower and the private rental market.  

Additionally, The Cambridge has launched a three-year discounted rate product at 3.09 per cent, exclusively to Liquid Expat customers.  

Kathy Bowes, intermediary manager at The Cambridge, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Liquid Expat who offer expertise in finding expats the most suitable mortgage deal for their circumstances.”

Stuart Marshall, managing director of Liquid Expat Mortgages, added: “We’re very pleased to partner with the Cambridge Building Society on an exclusive basis, and our specialist, qualified mortgage brokers are looking forward to delivering jargon-free, straightforward advice on this new to market expat mortgage product.”
