Brilliant Solutions adds Darlington Intermediaries to lender panel

Darlington Intermediaries has joined the lender panel of Brilliant Solutions mortgage club.

The partnership will provide Brilliant Solutions advisers with access to Darlington Intermediaries’ range of standard and specialist mortgages, which includes interest only, buy-to-let (BTL), complex income and property, as well as credit impaired products.

The society’s specialist lending offering also includes holiday let and joint borrower sole proprietor purchases.

Brilliant Solutions, which is non-transactional and profits only through broker relationships, also manages payments for several lenders to simplify and standardise the lending process.

Darlington Intermediaries head of intermediary distribution, Chris Blewitt, said: “We are delighted to join Brilliant Solutions panel. Our strap-line at the society is ‘we make complex cases simple’, and with no credit scoring each application is underwritten on an individual basis.

“Brilliant Solutions has a great reputation and puts their advisors, and their clients, first – just like us. We look forward to working with their advisors, especially those with trickier and more specialist cases.”

Brilliant Solutions sales director, Michael Craig, added: “Darlington Intermediaries is a welcomed addition to our mortgage club.  Their extensive lending criteria means we can offer our advisors additional outcomes for their difficult cases.

“The society is passionate on building relationships with brokers, and meeting their clients needs. We look forward to working with the team at Darlington Intermediaries.”
