Hope Capital Property Finance has strengthened its Dual+ proposition with an increased dual legal representation threshold of £1 million and instant valuations at enquiry stage.
The enhancements are designed to help brokers and borrowers meet completion deadlines by streamlining two of the most time-critical stages of the bridging process. The increased dual representation threshold now applies across England, Wales and Scotland.
A key feature of Dual+ is its instant valuation process, with valuations instructed and completed at enquiry stage wherever the case qualifies, which is now also available up to £1m.
Supporting the proposition is a dedicated packaging team, ensuring cases are reviewed and packaged on the same day they are received before progressing quickly through underwriting and legal completion.
Dual+ is available at 75% LTV from 0.82% for residential purchases, refinances, capital raises and cosmetic light refurbishment projects.
Kim Parker, director of lending operations and commercial strategy at Hope Capital Property Finance, said: "Speed and certainty continue to be two of the biggest priorities for brokers, particularly when dealing with time-sensitive residential bridging cases. By increasing our dual representation threshold to £1 million and bringing instant valuations into the enquiry stage, we're removing two of the biggest causes of delay and giving brokers greater confidence that cases can complete within challenging timescales.
"Combined with our dedicated packaging team and experienced sales specialists, Dual+ delivers a streamlined journey from enquiry through to completion. These latest enhancements reinforce our commitment to helping brokers complete more deals, more quickly, while delivering a better experience for borrowers."
Laura Carr, director of underwriting, compliance and stakeholder relations, added: "By moving valuations earlier in the process and increasing the availability of dual legal representation, Dual+ gives brokers a clearer and more efficient route to completion. From an underwriting perspective, having key information available sooner allows us to assess cases with greater speed and confidence, while maintaining the robust approach to risk management that brokers and borrowers expect from Hope Capital Property Finance.
"These enhancements are a direct response to broker feedback and reflect our ongoing focus on making the bridging journey as straightforward as possible. By combining smarter processes, experienced teams and a proposition built around certainty, Dual+ helps brokers navigate complex transactions more effectively and deliver the outcomes their clients need."
