Whiteaway Laidlaw Bank Acquires Link

Whiteaway Laidlaw Bank was acquired by RBS Equity Finance in January of this year, subsequent to which it acquired the Commercial First new business platform and started originating commercial mortgage business.

With a common shareholder and senior management team between the two businesses it has for some time appeared the most sensible approach to combine the businesses. The great news for Link in doing so is our ability to benefit from access to even greater sources of funding at a reduced cost.

Consequently, Link is delighted to announce the complete revamp of the entire product range.

David Johnson, Joint Managing Director at Link, comments:

"We are improving the current Platinum product with a higher LTV, introducing a product that straddles the pricing gap between Platinum and Core, as well as introducing a rehabilitation product and a higher LTV plan.

"We are confident this is a game changing move for Link and our supporting partners in both the scope and competitiveness of our product offering.

"Rest assured it is absolutely business as usual for Link in terms of the team and our ability to make pragmatic lending decisions.

"It only remains for us to thank the loyalty of our broker partners in making Link such a success and we are delighted to be able to repay that faith and support with such a significant move with the product range."
