The Finance Centre adds Abbey to commercial panel

The addition of Abbey takes TFC Commercial’s panel to a total of 5: Commercial First, I Group, Lancashire Mortgage Corporation, Mortgage Guarantee and Abbey National.

TFC Senior partner, Wayne Smethurst, said: “It is our intention to make TFC Commercial the largest and most successful sub-prime commercial mortgage packager in the UK. The addition of Abbey to our panel means that we can offer brokers a wide choice of specialist lenders, supported by a fast and efficient service.”

The UK sub-prime commercial mortgage market is still in its infancy in the UK and the few organisations that can offer a packaging service frequently have a restricted panel – often only one or two commercial lenders. It is TFC’s objective to replicate in the commercial mortgage market, the success it has achieved in the residential mortgage market, where the company is on-track to process £1 billion of mortgages during 2004.

Brokers requiring further information about TFC’s commercial packaging service should contact Nick Sneddon at TFC Commercial on 01925 405488.
