The Mansfield launches with Mortgage Intelligence Group

Mansfield Building Society has been added to the Mortgage Intelligence panel of lenders. The new relationship will increase the distribution of the Society’s individual underwriting proposition to both Appointed Representatives and Directly Authorised members.

Mansfield Building Society will be offering its range of residential and buy to let mortgages and will be working with Mortgage Intelligence to raise awareness of the criteria available to their brokers.

All brokers contacting The Mansfield can benefit from a dedicated Intermediary Sales Support team, online affordability calculator, underwriter-assessed Decision in Principle, and secure online portal for mortgage applications.

Steve Walton, National Development Manager for the Society said that the values of Mortgage Intelligence were the right fit for The Mansfield.

“By offering tailored solutions, support and training together with practical day-to-day support, we felt that Mortgage Intelligence had exactly the right values to compliment our pragmatic underwriting approach.

“Brokers are telling us that our commonsense approach of assessing each case on its own merit is highly valued. The exciting new relationship with Mortgage Intelligence enables us to extend our distribution to a greater number of brokers who can offer their clients our expansive range of mainstream and niche products.”

Sally Laker, Managing Director, “It is important that our advisers can offer their clients flexibility when considering their needs, and that is why we are delighted to be welcoming Mansfield Building Society to panel. We are confident the Society’s individual underwriting approach and personal service will prove to be a popular with both our Appointed Representatives and Directly Authorised members.”

Notes to Editors:

Mansfield Building Society offers a range of Residential and Buy to Let products. All mortgages are individually underwritten without the use of automated credit scoring systems. Each application is assessed on its own merits by people and the Society is committed to developing a personal service and relationship with its brokers and customers.

As well as residential purchase mortgages to 95% loan to value and remortgages to 90% loan to value, the Society’s individual underwriting is able to account for niche lending needs. These include support for First Time Buyers (eg family gifted deposits, Right to Buy and Mates Mortgages up to 4 applicants), lending into retirement, Shared Ownership, lending against improved values to support property improvement, interest only, Let to Buy and Regulated Buy to Let mortgages.

The Mansfield has a dedicated Intermediary Sales Support team available 5 days a week, Mon to Fri 9.00am* – 5.00pm. Brokers can call 01623 676360 or email brokers@mansfieldbs.co.uk to make enquiries.

Mansfield Building Society can trace its history back for over 140 years. It formed as a mutual and still works for the exclusive benefit of its members. As a mutual, there are no shareholders and therefore no dividends to pay. Mutuals are recognised as offering a strong guarantee and safe haven from fluctuations in the market.
