Norton Home Loans has joined the Mortgage Advice Bureau lender panel, giving advisers across the network access to its full range of specialist first charge mortgage products.

The agreement is now live for MAB members nationwide.

Norton, which has more than 50 years of experience in specialist lending, focuses on cases that fall outside mainstream criteria. The lender supports brokers dealing with complex credit histories, non-standard income or property types, and affordability challenges. Its approach combines flexible criteria, individual case assessment and direct access to underwriters.

Mortgage Advice Bureau, one of the UK’s most established mortgage networks, works with more than 2,000 advisers and provides access to a broad panel of lenders alongside technology tools and marketing support.

It says the addition of Norton strengthens adviser options at a time when more clients present with increasingly complex circumstances.

David Binney (main picture), head of sales at Norton Home Loans, said: “Mortgage Advice Bureau is one of the most respected and progressive networks in the market, so joining its lender panel is a major step forward for us.

“Their advisers are highly engaged and consistently focused on securing the most suitable outcomes for their clients.

“We’ve built our proposition around being accessible, flexible, and solutions-driven, and we know those values align closely with MAB’s.

“We’re really looking forward to working with their teams to support a wider range of clients with products that make a genuine difference.”

Rachel Geddes, strategic lender relationships director at Mortgage Advice Bureau, commented: “Norton Home Loans brings a level of knowledge that is hard to replicate. With more than 50 years of experience in this part of the market, they understand the types of challenges our advisers deal with day to day, from credit blips and unusual income to more complicated affordability scenarios.”

She added: “This isn’t just about adding another name to the panel, but about strengthening the support and value we offer our brokers.

“Norton’s track record, service model, and underwriting flexibility will better equip our network to support clients who might otherwise struggle to secure a suitable solution – in essence, helping them say yes to more.”
