Mortgage Intelligence has appointed Darlington Building Society to its lender panel.
The partnership is designed to support brokers with clients who need a more flexible approach to mortgage lending, with network members now able to access the Darlington’s full mortgage product range.
Darlington Building Society offers variety of mortgage solutions, including for borrowers with non-standard income, those seeking lending in later life and customers buying unique property types. Its range also covers skilled workers on visas, self-build projects and holiday lets.
The partnership comes after the Darlington removed the minimum time remaining on visas for applicants seeking 90% LTV mortgages and on 95% LTV mortgages, the society removed the minimum income threshold.
The changes aim to provide more flexibility for skilled workers looking to purchase property in the UK.
Head of mortgage distribution at Darlington Building Society, Christopher Blewitt, said: "Mortgage Intelligence is well known for giving advisers access to lenders and products that suit the types of cases brokers deal with day to day.
"This partnership helps us widen our reach and work with even more brokers looking for flexible criteria and a human approach to underwriting."
Head of products and partnerships at Mortgage Intelligence, Graham Wood, added: "We’re very pleased to welcome Darlington Building Society to our panel. Its approach to lending is practical, flexible, and focused on the needs of the individual, which is exactly what our members value.
"Whether it’s self-employed clients, buyers with more unusual circumstances, or properties that fall outside standard criteria, Darlington’s willingness to assess cases on their merits will be a welcome addition to our network."
