Aldermore Bank has joined the Association of Bridging Professionals (AOBP) after entering the bridging market at the start of June.
The bank joined the association, following its launch in to the bridging market with a product range including a unique Bridge to Term offering.
Aldermore Residential and Commercial Mortgages Managing Director, Charles Haresnape, said: “We are delighted to be joining the Association of Bridging Professionals and with our recent entry into the bridging market, it is essential that we work with organisations like the AOBP.
