Scottish Building Society Expands Mortgage Lending to England and Wales
Scottish Building Society has expanded its mortgage lending across mainland UK, now including England and Wales. This development builds on the society’s existing mortgage offering in Scotland and the North of England.
According to the society, the expansion follows growing broker demand for lenders willing to take a broader view of affordability. In addition to entering the England and Wales market, Scottish Building Society has launched a professional mortgage product, offering up to six times income for eligible applicants.
The society states that its proposition is designed to give brokers more choice, supported by its long-standing mutual heritage and experience in mortgage underwriting. The expansion is also backed by the society’s use of MSO originations software, which it describes as a market-leading approach to technology.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the society’s move may increase mortgage options for clients across the UK, potentially impacting property transactions and rental market activity.
