The Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) has welcomed Kennisbank as an associate member.
With the addition of the Knowledge Base, BDLA is the 100th member.
Kennisbank is a search platform for mortgage criteria, designed to help intermediaries place items more easily and efficiently.
The system allows users to search across multiple criteria categories and compare lenders’ requirements.
BDLA chief executive Adam Tyler said: “We are delighted to welcome the Knowledge Base as the 100th member of the BDLA. Reaching 100 members across lenders and employees is a major achievement and a significant milestone.”
“When I first collected data for the bridging industry in 2005, we measured the market at around £300 million. The most recent data from BDLA members is closer to £14 billion, which is a real credit to everyone who has been involved in that period and, as we all know, it is still growing.”
Knowledge Base Sales Director Shane Chawatama added: “We are very pleased to join the BDLA as an Associate Member and are excited to become the 100th member of this growing trade association.”
“The BDLA provides a strong platform for collaboration and sharing of insights that support the continued growth and evolution of the industry. With our upcoming move to add development finance as the eighth loan types available to brokers, the timing couldn’t be better.”
