Lendhub doubles origination team to support real-time decisioning

Specialist property finance lender, Lendhub, has doubled its origination team with the appointment of four new hires.

Naz Buckler, who joins with a focus on buy-to-let, brings more than 10 years of commercial banking experience and will lead key broker relationships across Lendhub’s product range. 

Will Atherton, an MRICS chartered surveyor, brings more than seven years’ experience at global real estate consultancies. 

Ruby Power brings a background in financial services that began in New Zealand, supporting SME business owners and high-net-worth clients. 

Nicolas Tofallis brings experience across bridging, refurbishment and development finance. His background in structured transactions further strengthens Lendhub’s capability on larger and more complex deals.

They join existing relationship managers Dan Margolis and Jack Bruce, and relationship associate Jack Hoad. The expansion is further reinforced by the appointment of Theresa Bailey as senior strategic partnerships manager, where she will drive the growth of Lendhub’s strategic partner programme and strengthen the lender’s commitment to long-term broker relationships.

Lendhub’s expanded origination team supports the lender’s full product range, with particular emphasis on its structured finance capability for larger and more complex transactions. 

Brokers can also access instant indicative terms through Lendhub’s new Quick Calculator tool, which delivers pricing across the lender’s full product suite within seconds. 

Lendhub’s headline bridging offering provides facilities from £100,000 to £10m for residential, commercial, auction and development exit transactions, with terms of up to 24 months and up to 75% LTV. 

Refurbishment finance ranges from £100,000 to £7.5m across light, medium, heavy and finish-and-exit projects, with 100% of works funded and up to 75% day-one net LTV. Ground-up development finance is available up to £7.5m for residential-led schemes at up to 90% LTC and 70% LTGDV.

Max Herman, director of commercial and technology at Lendhub, said: “Specialist brokers want senior originators who can structure on the call, not pass the parcel. Doubling the team in four months, with the calibre of hires we’ve brought in, is how we deliver that as pipeline demand continues to grow."
