Complete FS has appointed Mansfield Building Society to its lender panel.

The Mansfield does not credit score, with all applications being individually assessed.

Tony Salentino, director at Complete FS, the South Coast based national mortgage distributor and packager, said the Mansfield Building Society is part of the welcome movement among smaller lenders to place underwriting in the hands of experienced human underwriters.

He added: “At our Complete broker event earlier this year we made a commitment to intermediaries that we would add lenders to our panel not only to add product value but also because they would consider applications sympathetically where there had been previous difficulties. Therefore we are delighted to start the year with positive news by adding Mansfield Building Society to our growing lender panel.

“We now have another lender which believes in individual underwriting and assessment of a client’s situation and circumstances. Mansfield has a proven track record of offering a bespoke underwriting approach which fits in perfectly with our lender model.”

Mike Taylor, sales and marketing manager at the Mansfield Building Society, added: “Our philosophy at Mansfield Building Society is built on treating each client as an individual, which means we take the trouble to look at each application in a way that gives us the best insight into a customer’s circumstances.

“It is our contention that this can only be achieved by having a trained underwriter look at each application. We look forward to working with Complete FS and its broker introducers.”
