We are pleased to announce that Pivotal Growth has agreed terms to acquire Lifetime Finance Group Limited (“Lifetime”), representing the first acquisition for the joint venture between Pollen Street IV and LSL Property Services plc. Lifetime is one of the largest mortgage brokers in Scotland, with particular expertise in the new build sector as well as the specialist segments of contractor and self-employed mortgages.

Pivotal Growth was formed in April 2021 with the aim of building a leading, UK wide mortgage broker powered by market leading technology, first class regulatory compliance and exemplary customer service. Since establishment, Pivotal Growth has continued to build out the pipeline of acquisitions opportunities, in part leveraging the considerable levels of inbound leads. The business is currently discussing a significant number of other potential opportunities and expects to complete further transactions in the near future.

Investment by Pivotal will give us the capital and technology that is becoming increasingly important to be able to satisfy the growing demands of all stakeholders, including, consumers, lenders and the regulator in a fast moving dynamic market”
