We are pleased to announce that Pivotal Growth has agreed to acquire The Loan Partnership Limited (“TLP”). TLP is a specialist second charge mortgage and bridging finance broker based in Hemel Hempstead, and has been providing specialist mortgage advice to clients since 2013.

Pivotal Growth’s acquisition of TLP further expands the group’s capability into the specialist second charge broking and bridging finance markets, with the group currently in active discussions with a number of other opportunities which will continue to build on the group’s product set and geographic presence.

Pivotal Growth was established in 2021 as a joint venture between LSL Property Services Plc and Pollen Street Capital, to buy and build a leading national mortgage advisor powered by market-leading technology, first-class regulatory compliance and exemplary customer service.

Completion of Pivotal Growth’s acquisition of TLP is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

We believe these segments will play an important role in supporting customers looking for access to alternative mortgage financing solutions. We are excited to be working with John, Andy, their management team and people, who are renowned for providing fantastic service, and excellent customer outcomes.“

John Webb, Director of The Loan Partnership commented:

“Pivotal Growth is the perfect partner for The Loan Partnership, and I am looking forward to working with the Pivotal Growth team to continue grow the business.
