Suffolk Building Society has become the latest lender to join the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA).
Established in 1849, Suffolk Building Society offers mortgages from first-time buyer and family assist loans through to buy-to-let, self-build and later life lending.
The majority of its lending is via Suffolk for Intermediaries.
As a full member of IMLA, Suffolk Building Society becomes part of a group of lenders responsible for more than 90% of the UK’s gross mortgage lending.
Charlotte Grimshaw, head of intermediaries at Suffolk Building Society, will represent the platform at IMLA meetings and events.
Kate Davies, executive director of IMLA, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Suffolk Building Society as a full member of IMLA. Suffolk combines the longevity and experience of a well-established traditional mutual with the innovative drive of a specialist lender.
“The Society places great emphasis on its intermediary relationships, and we look forward to working together to address the issues facing our industry and drive the market forward.”
Grimshaw (pictured) added: “We’re delighted to be joining IMLA. The Association’s expertise in the intermediary space is exemplary, from representing the industry at government level, providing valuable insights, to educating the market on important topics.
“With IMLA’s close alliances with the Building Societies Association and UK Finance, this relationship illustrates our dedication to the intermediary market. It’s great to now be part of this wider forum.”
