New brokerage to support wide range of borrowers

A new brokerage targeting a wide range of borrowers, as well as offering protection services, has launched in the UK following a successful pilot.

Forto Finance offers advice on residential mortgages, remortgages, buy-to-let lending and specialist property finance, helping borrowers including first-time buyers, home movers, self-employed applicants, high-net-worth individuals and property investors seeking specialist funding solutions. It has a particular focus on expat borrowers.

The company has been founded by mortgage and protection adviser Anthony Curtis, supported by operations manager Esmé Rook.

Providing clear recommendations

Curtis, director of Forto Finance, said: “We’ve been running a pilot since April and we now know the proposition works. The number of choices available to borrowers has increased significantly in recent years, while affordability requirements and lender criteria are evolving all the time. 

“Clients need advice that helps them understand their options and make informed decisions. Our focus is on providing clear recommendations, responding quickly and helping clients make progress towards their financial goals.”

“We’ve built FORTO Finance around the belief that good advice should give people confidence to move forward, whether they’re buying a home, refinancing an existing property or funding their next investment. The focus on expat mortgages has come out of that.”
