News in brief - 26 June 2026

Keystone Property Finance has surpassed £2bn in securitisation issuance, following its sixth securitisation, Hops Hill No. 6.

The latest transaction totals £400m of buy-to-let (BTL) mortgages, comprising £320m of completed loans and an additional £80m of loans currently in the pipeline that will be added during the prefunding period.

The firm said that strong investor demand and favourable pricing reflects investor confidence in the quality of its loan book and the wider BTL market.

The Right Mortgage & Protection Network (TRM) has promoted Amy Wilson to the newly-created role of propositions director.

She joined TRM in 2015 and most recently served as head of insurance.

In her new role, Wilson will be tasked with strengthening the network’s adviser propositions, developing strategic partnerships and helping shape future growth initiatives.

Offa has formally opened its new Solihull office, marking a “major period” of growth.

The British Islamic property finance fintech firm said the move reflects its continued expansion as demand grows for ethical, Sharia-compliant property finance across the UK, and underlines its commitment to the wider West Midlands region.

The new office will provide a larger base for the company’s team, supporting its next stage of growth and enabling continued investment in people, technology and service delivery.

Finance Magic has promoted two of its commercial advisers to the position of team leader.

In their new roles, David Orbell and Constance Angela will each lead dedicated teams of emerging advisers within the firm’s network, providing mentorship, technical guidance and operational support across commercial mortgage, bridging and specialist finance cases.

The promotions follow the pair’s completion of the Finance Magic team leaders training programme.

Fleet Mortgages has made a series of product enhancements across its standard, limited company and HMO/MUFB ranges, including the launch of new products.

The lender has launched a new two-year zero-fee fix at 75% LTV at 5.74% on its standard and limited company ranges, and has also introduced new two-year products on its HMO/MUFB ranges, one starting from 6.15% with no fee and 5.69% with a £1,499 fee.

All products are available for both house purchase and remortgage business, with a minimum loan size of £25,001.
