The partnership will support brokers working with clients who require flexible, case-by-case underwriting. Darlington is known for its expertise in complex cases, offering solutions for non-standard income, later life lending, unique property types, self-builds, holiday lets, and skilled workers on VISAs.
Recent enhancements to its skilled worker VISA products include removing the minimum time required on VISAs for 90% LTV mortgages and eliminating the income threshold for 95% LTV.
Christopher Blewitt, head of mortgage distribution at Darlington Building Society, said:
“Mortgage Intelligence is well known for giving advisers access to lenders and products that suit the types of cases brokers deal with day to day. This partnership helps us widen our reach and work with even more brokers looking for flexible criteria and a human approach to underwriting. We know that not every case is straightforward, and we’re here to work with advisers to find the right solution, even when the situation is a little more complex.”
Graham Wood, head of products and partnerships at Mortgage Intelligence, added:
“We’re very pleased to welcome Darlington Building Society to our panel. Their approach to lending is practical, flexible, and focused on the needs of the individual, which is exactly what our members value.”
