MCI members get access to Pepper’s products

As a result, intermediaries using the club will have access to Pepper’s full range of residential and buy-to-let mortgage deals.

Phil Whitehouse (pictured), managing director of MCI Mortgage Club, said the firm wanted to ensure that brokers enjoy a comprehensive panel and suggested Pepper’s “transparent products and common-sense approach” would be an excellent addition.

“I’m looking forward to working with the team to raise awareness with our brokers of the great solutions that are available in the specialist market,” he added.

Clare Jarvis, head of intermediary distribution at Pepper, noted that the lender’s personal approach to underwriting made it attractive to brokers with clients who fell outside of the vanilla criteria in place with mainstream lenders.

She said: “Changing demographics, increasing credit commitments and shifting employment trends mean that more customers can benefit from an individual approach to underwriting to help them get the mortgage they deserve.”

The Pepper partnership follows moves to add Landbay and Together to the MCI panel in recent months.
