Ian Broadbent, director at HFBS (pictured above), said: “The recent announcement of a second national lockdown surprises no one.
“As a responsible lender, we have long been planning the steps necessary to mitigate any effects on ourselves and our valued intermediary partners, which is why we shall remain open.”
Between 5th November and 2nd December, the company will stay open, with the potential for some reduced staffing levels, and all enquiries will be dealt with and processed in the same manner as before the lockdown.

The lender is not expecting any significant disruption to turn around times.
HFBS will continue to visit clients to complete documentation, while adhering to social distancing rules.
If the client wishes otherwise, the lender will process all such applications to the fullest point possible and aim to sign up clients immediately after the lockdown, to ensure the completion can still take place prior to Christmas.
Ian added: “Should further amendments or extensions to the lockdown be announced, we will communicate the changes at the earliest opportunity.”
