At Aldermore we know not all clients fit a one-size-fits-all model and require a more specialist approach.
That’s why our experienced team of manual underwriters assess each client’s circumstances on a case-by-case basis, giving us more of an opportunity to help them to find the right mortgage, whatever their circumstances.
Aldermore supports a wide range of people, including first-time buyers with low deposits, the self-employed whose finances aren’t simple and straight forward, homeowners looking for a better remortgage deal, landlords big or small looking to start or grow their property portfolio, and borrowers with less than perfect credit.


Bath Building Society has a specialist approach to mortgage lending, offering innovative products your customers might find tricky to find elsewhere – specialising in mortgages for first-time buyers, students and older borrowers.
Pop along to the Bath Building Society stand to have a chat about how a spare room can help your customers afford the mortgage they need. The Rent-A-Room (lodger) products can improve affordability up to a maximum of eight times income by using future rental income towards affordability calculations.
A flexible, common-sense approach to underwriting means the lender is willing to consider cases that fall outside of standard criteria. Applications are individually assessed by its underwriting team with no automated credit scoring.




Coventry for intermediaries understands that by giving you great products and service, you’ll be able to offer the same to your clients. It’s part of its commitment to you.

Coventry will give you clear, timely and useful support. And if it withdraws a product, it will give you two days’ notice. Because if it matters to you, it matters to Coventry.
Find the certainty you seek with Coventry for intermediaries.
