The Mansfield Building Society has teamed up with mortgage club and packager, Brilliant Solutions, opening up access to a wider range of mortgage brokers and offering the choice of distribution channel.

Brilliant Solutions, which already supports the Mansfield through its direct to lender mortgage club, will help raise awareness of the building society’s product offering.

The Mansfield’s product set and manual underwriting approach will now be available through the packaged channel with no extra charge to the applicant.

Matthew Arena (pictured), managing director of Brilliant Solutions, said: “The Mansfield is a lender that sits well with our proposition, whether it is direct to lender or fees free packaging.

“Both businesses support brokers to ensure that their clients get the best outcomes and this partnership will ensure that The Mansfield’s ability to simplify complex buy-to-let, unusual property types and more will be brought to more brokers, leading to better client outcomes. ”

Andy Alvarez, head of mortgage sales at the Mansfield, added: “[Our] common sense approach to lending, flexible criteria and desire to add value back to our intermediary partners fits well with Brilliant Solutions’ ethos. We are very much looking forward to working with everyone at Brilliant and building on the relationship we already have with their mortgage club.”
