Skipton Building Society has launched a new intermediary proposition aimed at improving access to lending for borrowers with more complex needs.
The “Let’s Find a Way” initiative is designed to strengthen the lender’s broker-first approach, combining faster processing for straightforward cases with greater flexibility and human judgement on non-standard applications.
The move signals a renewed focus on supporting intermediaries as borrower profiles become more varied, with Skipton positioning itself against more rigid, criteria-driven lenders.
The proposition also brings together a range of existing products aimed at improving affordability, including Track Record for renters, Income Booster for family-assisted borrowing and Delayed Start options for new buyers.
POSITIVE OUTCOMES
Paul Fenn (main picture), Business Development Director at Skipton Building Society, said: “Getting onto the property ladder is harder than ever, and brokers are on the front line of that challenge.
“Let’s Find a Way is about starting from a mindset of possibility — combining strong systems with human judgement to support brokers and help more of their clients achieve a positive outcome.
“We’re a ‘yes-led’ lender where it makes sense: yes to keeping things simple, yes to common-sense lending and yes to working collaboratively with intermediaries. This new brand clearly signals how we’re different and reinforces that we’re committed to listening, innovating and finding solutions together.”
