The Beverley Building Society has become part of Legal & General Mortgage Club’s lender panel.

The mutual offers self-build mortgages with flexible stage releases and self-employed home loans with as little as one year’s trading in some cases.

It is also involved in later-life lending, including interest only and retirement interest only (RIO).

It also accepts parental guarantors or joint mortgage sole proprietor arrangements for first time buyers.

Graham Carter, the Society’s head of lending, said: “It’s a real privilege to be accepted onto the panel of this leading club and we’re excited about the opportunities this will give us to bring our highly personalised service to more people.

“At the Beverley, we specialise in a number of key areas, including mortgages for self-employed people, self-build mortgages and later-life lending, coupled with a common sense approach geared towards considering each case on its merits and striving to say ‘yes’ wherever we can.”
