Mortgage Intelligence adds Saffron for Intermediaries to their lender panel

Saffron for Intermediaries, the dedicated intermediary channel of Saffron Building Society, is making its full range of mortgage products available via Mortgage Intelligence.

Anita Arch, Head of Mortgage Sales at Saffron, said: “We’re delighted to be joining Mortgage Intelligence’s lender panel and are looking forward to supporting their Appointed Representatives and Directly Authorised members over the coming months. Not only will their brokers have full access to our Special Situations, Everyday residential mortgages and buy-to-let deals, but they will also benefit from our personal approach to underwriting.”

Brokers can submit a DIP and a full mortgage application via Saffron’s website based mortgage portal. Members of Mortgage Intelligence network who require further information or help can contact Debby Tedder, Business Development Manager, on 01799 582925 or by sending an e-mail to: deborah.tedder@saffronbs.co.uk

Sally Laker, Managing Director at Mortgage Intelligence, said: “Saffron for Intermediaries not only has competitive residential deals for straightforward cases, but also products specifically designed for borrowers with special requirements such as the self-employed, contractors, self-builders and landlords wanting to buy property for refurbishment before being let out.

“I have no doubt that both our Network and Next Intelligence mortgage club members will welcome Saffron as a very useful addition to our lender panel.”
