3mc is an award-winning specialist mortgage desk for mortgage intermediaries and a packager of Residential, Buy to Let, Commercial and Bridging mortgages.

2019 is 3mc’s 23rd year of trading within the business to business sector. During 2018 3mc processed over £2.3 Billion of specialist mortgage enquires. 3mc deals with lenders on a volume basis that intermediaries would not normally deal with on a regular basis utilising their knowledge and skills assisting intermediaries from enquiry through to completion. In 2018 3mc launched a number of new service initiatives including the addition of lender onsite underwriters and a new broker support team to aide intermediaries.

When dealing with 3mc you gain access to lenders with restricted access along with access to 3mc exclusives. The customer remains the customer of the intermediary and the intermediary is the customer of 3mc. The intermediary receives the market procuration fee as the lender pays 3mc a gross packaging fee which includes the intermediary’s market procuration fee. In 2017 3mc launched a new introducer service for portfolio landlords where you can pass the client to 3mc and 3mc will take over the advice and recommendation process in return for a percentage of the gross commission received.

3mc prides itself on its independent status working with directly authorised intermediaries and appointed representatives of all partner networks. The 3mc mortgage desk has a wealth of experience assisting mortgage intermediaries in the placement of their cases across their entire specialist panel of lenders.

Aldermore knows that, as an intermediary, you’ll have clients who need a more specialist approach, clients who don’t fit into the one-size-fits-all model of other lenders.

It recognises that some applicants have unique circumstances and need people to assess their mortgage application, not machines.

That’s why it uses a team of experienced manual underwriters who start with a can-do attitude, assessing your client’s application and individual circumstances.

Aldermore provides opportunities for a wide range of residential mortgage applicants including first time buyers with low deposits, remortgagors looking to get a better deal, clients with less than perfect credit and borrowers aged 55 and over.

It’s also committed to helping our nation’s landlords; whether your client is big or small, individual or limited company, its range of buy-to-let mortgages is the perfect way to expand their portfolio.

Beverley Building Society recognises that each mortgage application is different and should be looked at on individual merit and affordability. Whether it is for employed, self-employed or based on pension income, the Society prides itself on assessing applications through sensible underwriting and a flexible approach to secured lending.

We understand each customer is different. For many people…getting a mortgage can be a challenge made even harder by the stringent lending criteria of high street banks.

We are a specialist mortgage lender. Our range of products has been designed for people that don’t fit the traditional profile that high street banks want. Our service is special too – we promise to treat customers as individuals and make decisions based on their circumstances, not their credit score.

Our residential and buy-to-let products have been designed specifically for self-employed, contractors and customers who have had a credit problems.

As a specialist mortgage lender, we take our job very seriously. We’re committed to being a responsible lender and we review all applications in detail to make sure our customers can afford their mortgage repayments.

Buckinghamshire Building Society lends throughout England and Wales. Our wide range of mortgage products are aimed at helping customers with complex incomes, diverse circumstances or credit issues to purchase or remortgage their home. All our mortgage enquiries and applications received are individually assessed without being dependent upon a credit score but are subject to status and clear evidence of affordability.
Our application process begins with soft searches and an initial affordability assessment. This is designed to give brokers a prediction of the outcome of a case. Once soft search has been completed, brokers can use our online system to submit their applications for evaluation by our underwriting team. Finally our underwriters will manually assess each case, taking the time to review each case using a common sense approach and taking customers’ life circumstances into consideration.

We also offer bespoke second charge mortgages for high net worth individuals and business purpose loans.

We have the risk appetite to do interesting things and the expertise to ask the right questions. If it makes sense, we’ll find a way.

Octane was the first lender in the UK to launch without any products, an approach it refers to as the ‘3rd generation’ of lending. This essentially means every enquiry it gets from an introducer is looked at on its own merits and priced according to its unique circumstances. The result is a highly bespoke loan structured according to the needs of the client. Crucially, Octane's in-depth knowledge of risk means a higher LTV loan can sometimes be priced more competitively than a lower LTV loan. And with Octane, a yes always means yes, providing all-important certainty of lending and rapid completions
