Mansfield BS offers a range of mortgage products, covering residential, buy-to-let, first-time buyers, credit repair, shared ownership, later life, expat and its specialist versatility proposition.

Managing director at SDL Surveying, Simon Jackson, said: "It is always exciting to announce a brand-new relationship, especially with a lender that has a history of over 150 years, one that shares our core business values, and one that is clearly committed to helping a wide a range of mortgage borrowers.

"Mansfield has been at the cutting-edge of the mortgage market for a number of years, and we are delighted to start working with the team there to enhance the valuation services they provide to their customers, using the vast expertise and technical know-how of all the surveyors that work for us."

Customer service executive at Mansfield Building Society, Dave Newby, added: "SDL Surveying and Mansfield are a great cultural fit for each other having similar values and work ethics.

"We have already seen the benefits of moving across to SDL in terms of some process improvements that Claire Lydon and the team have helped us introduce to make the mortgage teams’ life easier. We look forward to working closely with them as we progress on our digital transformation journey to further improve the service we provide for our customers."
