L&G’s Ignite platform has added Cumberland Building Society as a lender partner, expanding broker access to the society’s residential and holiday let ranges.

The integration enables brokers to compare Cumberland products instantly within the Ignite system, view lending criteria and generate ESIS documents, streamlining case research and submission.

Cumberland Building Society, which marks its 175th anniversary this year, is known for its specialist focus on holiday let mortgages, limited company buy-to-let and residential lending up to 95% LTV. Brokers also gain access to a named relationship manager to support case progression.

The society’s holiday let range is available to brokers nationwide. Residential products, meanwhile, can be accessed by brokers located in Cumbria, South West Scotland, North Lancashire and parts of Northumberland, although applications can be submitted for clients and properties anywhere in the UK.

Kelly Bretherton, head of Ignite at L&G’s Mortgage Services business, said: “We’re committed to helping brokers find the right lender and mortgage solutions for their clients’ individual needs.

“That’s why we’re excited to welcome the Cumberland Building Society to the Ignite platform, giving brokers seamless access to their products.”

Grant Seaton, head of intermediaries at The Cumberland, added: “Working with a major name like L&G is a real step forward for us.

“It gives more brokers direct access to our deep knowledge of the specialist holiday let sector drawn from over 20 years of lending and our dynamic residential products.

“This partnership will also bring our kinder banking ethos and service approach to a wider group of advisers.”
