Two new development finance lenders add criteria to Knowledge Bank

Following Knowledge Bank's recent launch of a dedicated development finance lending type, West One and Saffron Building Society have added their criteria to the platform.

Both lenders have finalised and published their criteria via KB PRO, meaning brokers can now include them within searches and view their responses alongside other lenders.

Using the platform criteria can be filtered, sorted and evidenced using Knowledge Bank's ‘Evidence of Research’ PDF.

Any updates made by the lenders go live immediately (or at a scheduled time), ensuring brokers always see the most up-to-date criteria.

Knowledge Bank now has over 165,000 pieces of criteria across eight active lending types including bridging, development and commercial

Central Trust and Charterbank are recent additions to the bridging lenders available to search.

Tony Hall, head of business development at Saffron Building Society, commented: “Property development finance is a key area of focus for us and being live on Knowledge Bank is an important step in making our criteria more accessible to the broker community. We’ve seen a clear uplift in proposition awareness, and we’re committed to converting this into business growth. This partnership allows us to communicate the strengths of our development finance proposition in a fresh way and ensures brokers can quickly identify how we can support their clients’ projects.”
