Accord has an existing relationship with Connells through Chelsea Building Society’s intermediary arm, also part of the Yorkshire. This ceased operating in October last year as part of its integration with the Yorkshire.
Connells was one of three key lending partners to work with the Chelsea before the merger.
Karen Faulkner, mortgage services development manager of Connells, said: “We are delighted to build on our longstanding relationship with Chelsea Building Society by having Accord Mortgages join our restricted lender panel and at a key point as we expand our sales force by a further 100 mortgage consultants. We look forward to working alongside the Accord team.”
Chris Maggs, divisional manager South at Accord Mortgages, said: “At Accord, we focus on developing key intermediary lending partnerships and we’re delighted to be working with Connells.”
