Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Razvana Khan (pictured) as business development manager (BDM) in its bridging team, strengthening support for brokers across London.
She will report to Andrea Glasgow, sales director, specialist mortgages and bridging finance.
Khan brings more than a decade of experience in real estate and brokerage, most recently as a specialist finance broker at Bridgemore Capital.
Her appointment builds on recent enhancements to HTB’s bridging proposition, including improvements to its heavy refurbishment product, the expansion of the business development executive team and additional underwriting capacity.
Khan said: “Coming from a brokerage background, I know how much difference the right bridging partner makes. It is often the deal that unlocks everything else, whether that is a refurbishment, a refinance or a portfolio restructure.
“What matters most to brokers is knowing the exit has been thought through and that communication stays clear from start to finish. Too many cases falter when those things are missing.
“What drew me to HTB is its reputation for being accessible, consistent and pragmatic, and I cannot wait to start working with brokers across London to make sure they feel that support on every deal.”
Andrea Glasgow, sales director, specialist mortgages and bridging finance at HTB, said: “I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Razvana to the team.
“Her experience as both a broker and property professional means she instinctively understands what brokers expect from a lender.
“Bridging is now a planned part of client strategies, from bridge to term through to refurbishment and portfolio repositioning, and that puts the focus firmly on lenders to deliver certainty of funding, pragmatic structuring and direct access to decision-makers.
“At HTB we have strengthened our bridging proposition to deliver exactly that, and Razvana will be central to supporting brokers across London.”
