🎯 Are regulated bridging firms hitting the Consumer Duty mark? 🎯 At the end of July last year, the long-discussed Consumer Duty rules were officially introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Picture this: after weeks or months of working on a case for a client, the borrower decides to pull out of the deal at the last minute, leaving you with nothing in return for your hard work. The situation, while not incredibly common, can bring frustration to lenders and brokers who have pulled out all the stops to meet a client's requirements. With many hours potentially wasted on nothing, this brings the question: should there be consequences for borrowers in the form of abortive fees? And if so, how would this fit with the new Consumer Duty rules? Several industry experts - including Roz Cawood from StreamBank, Saam Lowni from Merryoaks Finance, Adam Butler from Avamore Capital, and Michael Stratton from MS Lending Group - weigh in on this topic for the latest issue of the B&C Magazine.
