Pavilion's View
They are an essential alternative to traditional onshore banks for international clients. Their underwriters are entirely comfortable with offshore wealth origins, enabling them to construct solutions where domestic high-street institutions may see only complexity.
They also maintain a strong and consistent presence within the high-value mortgage broker market, keeping close to intermediaries and ensuring their lending appetite remains visible and well understood.
