The decision to make these additions was based on feedback from Openwork advisers, and the network’s focus on driving service quality has led to the appointment of Standard Life to the panel as from the beginning of May.
There are currently very robust conditions in the buy-to-let market and an increasing number of Openwork advisers are growing their business in this sector of the market, in particular working closely with professional landlords. To support them in delivering an even better proposition to these clients The Business Mortgage Company (TBMC) will also be added to the panel in May.
Paul Shearman, mortgage proposition director for Openwork, said: “I am delighted to have Standard Life and TBMC on-board. Both players add a new dimension to the panel and given the number of requests from advisers for them to join, I know they will be popular additions.”
