The investment from J.P. Morgan in future buy-to-let mortgage originations marks another important milestone for the company and significantly enhances its existing lending platform through diversification into the term lending market.
MT was established in 2008 by co-founders Joshua Elash and Tomer Aboody and operates in both the regulated and non-regulated UK bridging finance market.
The lender's launch into buy-to-let follows the introduction of a regulated bridging product in 2020 and will be followed by further new products in the coming 12 months, supporting MT Finance’s goal of providing a wide range of specialist lending products to meet borrowers’ needs.
More detail on the new buy-to-let product will be made available in the coming weeks ahead of a formal launch to an initial select group of brokers.
Joshua Elash, Director & Founder of MT Finance, said: “We look forward to working with J.P. Morgan on this exciting project. This new relationship sits neatly with MT Finance’s other significant institutional partnerships and provides us with the opportunity to continue to develop our core objective of being an ESG-focused, multi-solution, financial institution. This forward flow agreement provides the infrastructure to allow us to bring a truly relevant buy-to-let product to market at a time when our extensive track record of delivering certainty of funding efficiently has never been more needed.”
Rob Tanna-Smith, Executive Director within J.P. Morgan’s EMEA Securitized Products Group, said: “We are pleased to be collaborating with MT Finance on this exciting new product launch. MT Finance is a growing business with an ambitious management team and our Securitised Products Group has been pleased to work with them on this strategic initiative and to provide significant capacity for new buy-to-let lending.”
