Catalyst Property Finance is the brainchild of Chris, an ex-intermediary who placed billions of pounds worth of bridging finance with a myriad of lenders. Chris’ mission is to create a bridging lender which excels at delivering short-term finance; the bridging products you need and the service you, and your clients, deserve.
Feedback has been fantastic, with one broker saying “It’s like you’ve taken the best bits of other bridging lenders and created the perfect bridging proposition”. That’s certainly our aim. We care about our intermediary partners and understand what you need to best support your bridging clients. So, if you are looking for flexible, bespoke and high-leverage lending, talk to us on 01202 112 900 or email enquiry@catalystpf.co.uk.
