Primis Mortgage Network has announced the addition of Tandem Bank to its lender panel.

The partnership gives Primis members access to Tandem Bank’s range of specialist mortgages, which includes rate reductions for customers with properties that have a home energy efficiency (EPC) rating of A, B or C. The bank offers specialist and bespoke mortgage products, to help underserved customers who do not meet the high street approach of a minimum credit score or automated processes.

Through Tandem’s flexible lending criteria, it offers residential mortgages for loans up to £750,000, and can provide solutions for complex customers with bespoke underwriting requirements.

Vikki Jefferies, proposition director at Primis, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Tandem Bank to our panel, in a move which ensures our brokers continue to have access to the broadest range of products available, in order to best serve their clients’ needs. With a growing demand for green mortgages, Tandem’s range of flexible solutions and EPC discounted mortgages will add real value to our panel.”

Roger Morris (pictured), director of mortgage division sales and distribution at Tandem Bank, said: “We are delighted to have been accepted and included on the Primis lender panel. I have known and worked with Primis over many years and understand better than many what an opportunity it is for a lender to gain a place on their panel. We will work hard with Primis brokers to establish our place at the top table of specialist lenders and especially through our unique reimagining of the remortgage process.”
