Crystal Specialist Finance joins Legal and General’s Ignite panel
Specialist finance distributor Crystal Specialist Finance has joined Legal and General’s Ignite, which will allow the latter’s members to “find simple solutions for their clients with complex needs”.

Legal and General launched its Ignite platform in July this year, augmenting its SmartrFit software into a whole of market comparison service, integrated affordability calculators, client criteria, product sourcing and a property checking function.

Crystal Specialist Finance has developed more mortgage club and network partnerships with Paradigm, Wealthmax, True Potential, Cityplus, Fairstone and Sense Network so far this year.

The distributor offers commercial finance, bridging loans, second charge mortgages, development finance and specialist residential and buy-to-let mortgages.

Dan Morris, key account director at Crystal, said: “It is great to be part of this new initiative with Legal and General and it comes at a time when there will undoubtedly be an increasing number of broker customers who do not fit traditional lending solutions.

“I’m also extremely thankful to the new mortgage club and broker partners who have agreed to engage with us this year. The specialist sector can expect a strong end to 2023 and prospects for 2024 are encouraging.”
