Keystone Property Finance has secured a new funding line that will help to boost its lending volumes.

The new funding has been provided by an unnamed international investment bank and is in addition to two longstanding funding partnerships already in place.

Keystone is an intermediary-only lender providing specialist buy-to-let (BTL) finance to portfolio and non-portfolio landlords. It described the deal as a “sign of confidence” in its lending proposition as well as the wider BTL market, and suggested the investment gives the lender the ability to support a broader range of borrowers.

The lender, which is owned by the Property Business Group, said it plans to use the capital to accelerate a digital roadmap and drive further operational efficiencies.

“This new funding line marks a pivotal moment for us as a lender and is a clear vote of confidence not just in our business model, but also the long-term future of the BTL market,” said Keystone CEO, David Whittaker.

“With this additional capacity, we will not only be able to significantly scale our lending volumes but also support a much broader range of landlords in obtaining the finance they need.

“It will also allow us to accelerate our digital roadmap and further streamline our processes. This means we will be able to provide an even slicker service to brokers, helping us to cement our place as a leading lender in the specialist BTL market.”
