Norton Home Loans has partnered with London & Country (L&C) Mortgages to expand access to its specialist mortgage solutions.

The collaboration will give L&C’s customers access to Norton’s range of specialist mortgages, supporting more borrowers with complex financial needs.

As a result, L&C will have direct access to Norton’s flexible lending criteria, allowing its clients with complex financial circumstances, including those with historical credit blips or requiring specialist lending solutions, to benefit from tailored mortgage products.

L&C recognised the opportunity to work with Norton after identifying that several of its more complex cases were being agreed with Norton.

Norton’s approach to underwriting and experience in the specialist mortgage market will enable L&C to offer more diverse solutions to its clients.

Head of sales at Norton Home Loans, David Binney, said: "This partnership with L&C is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside one of the most well-established and highly regarded brokers in the country. We recognise the increasing demand for specialist lending solutions, and by working together, we can help more borrowers find the right financial products to meet their needs.

"Norton Home Loans has always been committed to offering flexible, customer-focused lending, and we look forward to supporting L&C’s clients with our expertise and bespoke approach."

Chief relationship officer at L&C Mortgages, Simon Hendy, added: "As a broker dealing with thousands of customer enquiries each month, we recognise the importance of strong relationships with specialist lenders who can offer solutions that mainstream lenders may not.

"Norton’s pragmatic lending criteria and flexible underwriting have already provided positive outcomes for our customers, and we are excited to expand our collaboration further. This partnership reinforces our commitment to finding the best solutions for every client, regardless of their financial background."
