London, UK – Jan 09, 2025 — As the countdown to its much anticipated BETA launch begins, Broka.uk has hit a major milestone, announcing that over 240 lenders have now joined its lending panel. This impressive achievement marks a significant step forward in founder Kristian Wilkinson’s mission to build the most comprehensive loan sourcing platform for brokers working with private real estate finance in the UK.
Since announcing the development earlier this year, the Broka team has been relentlessly focused on building relationships across the lending spectrum. The result? A panel that now spans Family Offices, High Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs), Challenger Banks, Institutions, Government-Backed Agencies, and Bridging Corporations each bringing unique lending criteria and capabilities to the platform.
“Our goal has always been to create a platform where brokers can find a solution for every deal, no matter how straightforward or complex,” says Wilkinson. “Hitting 240 lenders before we’ve even gone live is validation that the industry wants this, and needs this.”
A Lender for Every Scenario
Unlike traditional sourcing tools, which often cater only to mainstream finance products, Broka.uk is being designed from the ground up to reflect the complexity and diversity of real-world broker requirements. The breadth of the lender panel ensures that brokers will have access to solutions for both conventional and highly specialist scenarios, including:
- Barn conversions and airspace developments
- Foreign nationals and offshore structures
- First-time developers and part-completed projects
- Regulated and unregulated bridging
- Challenging credit histories
- Church conversions, unusual properties, and planning-led strategies
By covering such a wide array of niche cases, Broka.uk ensures that brokers are no longer limited by narrow panels or generic filtering tools. Instead, they’ll be able to access real-time, up-to-date lender data and instantly identify who can lend, and on what terms.
Industry Momentum Ahead of BETA
The early traction is a strong signal of Broka’s potential to become the go to sourcing solution for the UK’s specialist finance community. With lenders eager to gain visibility and streamline broker engagement, and brokers desperate for a tool tailored to their needs, Broka.uk is shaping up to bridge the longstanding gap between the two sides of the private finance market.
As development continues, the team remains laser focused on building an intuitive, powerful, and broker first experience. The BETA launch is scheduled for later this year, and the company is actively welcoming pre-launch registrations from brokers who want early access.
