Sundeep Patel (pictured), bridging director for UTB, said: “I’m delighted to announce these significant bridging rate reductions and send a strong message to brokers that we’re looking to write strong levels of new business this year by supporting customers in the market.
“We’ve made the biggest changes to our unregulated bridging pricing, where competition has been extremely fierce. When you combine these great rates with our knowledge, flexibility, dedicated underwriting teams for regulated and unregulated cases and fantastic nationwide broker support, UTB has a compelling offering for brokers and borrowers.”
UTB recently hired Gemma Roberts as a business development manager (BDM) in its bridging sales team for the North of England.
