Digital specialist finance marketplace Brickflow has expanded its lender panel by onboarding HBI Capital, providing brokers with direct access to the lender's bridging, development and auction finance products. Through the partnership, brokers can source loans ranging from GBP 100,000 to GBP 2 million, with individually underwritten pricing, same-day decisions in principle and privately funded lending. HBI Capital also offers free in-house valuations on qualifying loans and dual legal representation to streamline transactions. The addition increases the financing options available on Brickflow's platform, which now hosts more than 160 specialist lenders, reinforcing its focus on digitising loan sourcing and improving access to specialist property finance for brokers.
Brickflow, a digital marketplace for specialist property finance, has added HBI Capital to its panel of lending partners, expanding the range of bridging, development and auction finance products available to brokers through its platform. The partnership, announced during the past week, enables brokers to access HBI Capital's lending products directly as Brickflow continues to broaden its network of specialist finance providers.
HBI Capital offers bridging, development and auction finance facilities ranging from GBP 100,000 to GBP 2 million. The lender follows an individually underwritten approach to pricing, assessing each transaction on its own merits rather than relying on a standard rate card. According to the company, this enables it to consider more complex financing cases while continuing to provide same-day decisions in principle.
The lender's proposition on the Brickflow platform includes privately funded lending, allowing greater flexibility in credit assessment and loan structuring. Eligible borrowers can also benefit from free in-house valuations on qualifying loans, a measure intended to reduce transaction costs and shorten processing timelines. In addition, HBI Capital offers dual legal representation to simplify legal procedures and minimise delays during loan completion.
Interest rates for HBI Capital's products start from 1% per month, with final pricing determined through individual underwriting based on the characteristics and complexity of each transaction.
John Blahuta, Director at HBI Capital, said bridging finance required an understanding of the circumstances behind each transaction and that experienced judgement remained an important element alongside formal assessment processes. He added that joining the Brickflow platform would make it easier for brokers to access a lender focused on commercially driven decisions and efficient transaction execution.
Glenn Franklin-Jones, Director of Lender Relations at Brickflow, said the addition of HBI Capital would strengthen the platform's ability to support brokers handling transactions that fall outside standard lending criteria. He stated that expanding the lender panel was consistent with Brickflow's objective of reducing manual loan sourcing and providing brokers with a quicker and more transparent route to suitable finance providers.
HBI Capital is now live on the Brickflow platform, giving brokers immediate access to its lending criteria alongside Brickflow's wider network of more than 160 specialist lenders. The latest addition reflects Brickflow's ongoing efforts to expand financing options across the specialist property lending market while improving the speed and efficiency of loan sourcing through digital infrastructure.
