SimplyBiz Mortgages launches buy-to-let support service

BTL+ is designed to strengthen and streamline the support available for advisers working across all areas of the market, from first time landlords, through to commercial buy-to-let. The range of services, launched last week, is exclusively available to SimplyBiz Mortgages member firms.

The online hub includes access to a panel of buy-to-let lenders, including those with specialist solutions to cater for more complex cases, a range of tools and resources, education zone and dedicated academy, alongside market updates and news. Additionally, the hub offers support and guidance around protection, landlord insurance and surveys.

Makayla Everitt, head of SimplyBiz Mortgages, commented: “It is fair to say that buy-to-let landlords and lenders remain positive about their prospects over the next 12 months, from remortgaging opportunities, potential first-time landlords entering the market, and existing landlords adding to their portfolio - often taking advantage of the opportunities offered by a different geographical area - to the changing needs of tenants with a greater focus on home working.

“At SimplyBiz Mortgages, we are committed to leading the field in terms of buy-to-let support, education and service, which helps to ensure good outcomes for advisers and their clients. It was therefore crucial that BTL+ delivered a highly detailed route to growth, supporting foundation income and access to the provision of a holistic service and providing all the essential resources, training and easy access needed.

“We are delighted that BTL+ provides all the support our members need - whether developing their knowledge in this area, or advising upon the most complex of cases, and we will be continuing to develop the BTL+ Hub further in 2022.”
