Later life lender, more2life, has announced a new partnership with Countrywide Surveying Services to provide advisers with more options for valuing properties.
The move is live immediately and more2life confirmed that it had added Countrywide for cases on the Horizon product range, complementing the lender’s existing valuer options available to advisers.
By adding Countrywide as the valuer for Horizon cases, more2life said it had reduced reliance on a single valuation supplier, ensuring advisers and their clients enjoy a more resilient level of service.
more2life said it would continue to introduce partnerships and features which open more choice for advisers and borrowers alike.
“The team at Countrywide really understands this market and will bring that invaluable experience and knowledge to more2life cases,” said more2life CEO, Dave Harris.
“The expansion of our valuer partners is just the first in what is sure to be a year filled with further enhancements to the more2life proposition as we work towards helping more advisers support their older homeowner clients in taking control of their financial freedom.”
Managing director at Countrywide, Matthew Cumber, added: “The provision of valuations in later life lending requires specific expertise and processes to manage the sensitivities involved in lending to such a customer group, so we are delighted to be appointed by more2life as one of their valuation suppliers.”
