Brilliant adds West One to panel

The lender was already part of the Brilliant Solutions packager panel. West One said that opening up its proposition to networks and mortgage clubs was a key element in its growth strategy for this year, with the aim of becoming a ‘go-to’ lender for brokers with buy-to-let cases.

West One’s product range is available to both amateur and professional landlords, as well as for individual and limited company borrowers. All loans are manually underwritten, with the lender stating it specialises in complex transactions such as houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs), multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFBs) and holiday lets.

Michael Craig, sales director at Brilliant Solutions, said the addition of West One Loans was a welcome one, adding: “Not only will it give our brokers access to West One’s comprehensive range of products, but also gives them access to the manual underwriting and support from their BDMs.”

Andrew Ferguson (pictured), managing director for West One buy-to-let, added: “Brilliant Solutions has a great reputation, and by joining its panel we will open up opportunities for its brokers to work with our specialist team of underwriters who can support on complex cases.”

West One joins Selina Finance and LV as recent additions to Brilliant’s various lender panels.
