West One joins L&C Mortgages' lender panel

Specialist lender West One Loans has been added to London & Country (L&C) Mortgages’ panel of lenders, marking a significant expansion in its residential and buy-to-let distribution network.

The partnership provides L&C brokers access to West One’s full range of specialist residential and buy-to-let mortgage products, broadening the lender's reach to potential new borrowers.

West One, named one of Mortgage Introducer’s 5-Star Lenders of 2023, provides flexible mortgage solutions, particularly for borrowers who may struggle to secure loans from traditional high street lenders. In July, the company announced major enhancements to its product range and eligibility criteria to better serve the market.

L&C Mortgages, one of the UK’s largest mortgage intermediaries, is the latest to add West One to its panel following the lender’s entry into the owner-occupied market in October 2023. Since its founding in 1999, L&C has provided advice to over two million borrowers.

“This is a highly significant announcement for us in terms of scale,” said Paul Huxter (pictured left), head of intermediary sales and distribution at West One Loans. “We have earmarked this as a growth year for West One, and announcements such as this show that we are making great strides toward that goal. We have built an enviable product range and brought that offering to a greater number of brokers and borrowers this year.

“Now we are working with one of the UK’s leading brokers to help us serve even more people at a time when the mortgage market needs more flexibility and well-designed options. We can’t wait to get started serving borrowers advised by London & Country.”

Simon Hendy (pictured right), chief relationship officer at London & Country, added that they were delighted to further boost the range of options available to their advisers through the partnership with West One.

“L&C is committed to finding the very best solutions for its customers from right across the market,” Hendy said. “We’re confident that West One will help us achieve that by meeting the complex needs of our customers.”
