Ingard appointed representatives will be able to access to the buy to let (BTL) lender’s full product range and to submit cases through the network’s own specialist mortgage packager.

Axis Banks’s range is aimed at professional landlords with two or more investment properties. The products are offered to individuals and limited companies for purchase or refinancing. The range of properties covered comprises homes in multiple occupancy (HMOs), multi-unit blocks and holiday lets.

David Ewing, managing director at Ingard, said the lender was likely to be “a very popular addition to our panel” due to its product range, criteria and “commitment to making complex BTL lending very simple”.

He continued: “More importantly, the ability to assess cases on an individual basis and approve common sense propositions that some, more automated lenders are unable to do, will greatly help our members to place more of their BTL enquiries.”
