  • An individually assessed, common-sense approach
  • Manual underwriting process, no credit score involved
  • Provide good judgement and sound lending practice
  • Many types of income considered during the affordability assessment, including salary, bonus and commission, self-employed income, rental income, pension and investment or trust income.
  • An agreement to a loan in principle within 48 hours

Rob McCoy, Senior Product & Business Manager at TMA, said: “To bring Harpenden onboard is a huge delight as we endeavour to provide the best range of products to our members. Ensuring advisers stay ahead of the curve, particularly within a market that’s constantly evolving, is our top priority and with Harpenden, more of our members will be able to access lending for those all-important specialist customers. As more and more customers look for specialist lending, partnerships like this will allow us to support our members with a wider range of solutions to help these types of borrowers and, ultimately, strengthen their business in the long-run.”

Ken Hale, Head of Lending at Harpenden Building Society, added: “Specialist mortgages are a product whose time has come, with growing pools of borrowers needing tailored lending solutions. Partnering with TMA is a natural extension of our proposition as we look to support more advisers wanting to incorporate a common-sense approach to lending within their business, and we look forward to working with the Club to help more end-customers realise their home ownership goals.”
