L&G’s Ignite platform adds The Cumberland as lender partner
The Cumberland has joined L&G Ignite as lender partner, giving brokers access to residential and Holiday Let mortgage products.
Brokers can now instantly compare our products directly within the Ignite platform, making it easier to find the right solutions for their clients’ individual needs.
The integration also allows brokers to review our lending criteria and generate ESIS documents seamlessly.
At The Cumberland, we offer brokers a named relationship manager service backed by strong sector expertise. Our focus is on Holiday Let (up to 20 properties per landlord), limited company buy to let and residential lending, offering up to 95% LTV (80% in London and the South East England). Cases are assessed by our experienced underwriters who take time to understand complex income, property use and customer plans.
Holiday Let mortgages are currently available to brokers located anywhere in the UK. Whereas, residential mortgages are only available to brokers physically located within our core operating area of Cumbria, South West Scotland, North Lancashire, and parts of Northumberland. However, once a broker is on panel, the client and the property may be located anywhere in the UK.
Founded in 1850 and this year marking our 175th anniversary, our kinder banking approach shapes our working relationships with brokers. Communication is open and decisions are grounded in fair, sensible judgement.
Kelly Bretherton, Head of Ignite at L&G’s Mortgage Services business, said: “We’re committed to helping brokers find the right lender and mortgage solutions for their clients’ individual needs. That’s why we’re excited to welcome the Cumberland Building Society to the Ignite platform, giving brokers seamless access to its products.”
“Working with a major name like L&G is a real step forward for us,” said Grant Seaton, Head of Intermediaries at The Cumberland.
“It gives more brokers direct access to our deep knowledge of the specialist Holiday Let sector drawn from over 20 years of lending and our dynamic residential products. This partnership will also bring our kinder banking ethos and service approach to a wider group of advisers.”
