Brilliant Solutions Mortgage Club has added Ipswich Building Society to its lender panel.

Members of the firm will now have access to the lender’s range of mortgage products, including those for expats, self-build, shared ownership and its residential and buy-to-let ranges.

The building society manually underwrites, which it says enables it to consider the self-employed, contractors and older borrowers.

Ipswich Building Society head of mortgage sales Kate Ley says: “We are delighted to offer our broad range of mortgage products to Brilliant Solutions Mortgage Club’s members.

“With our ability to assess each case on its own merit, we really hope to be able to support their clients across a wide range of mortgage types.”

Brilliant Solutions Mortgage Club managing director Matthew Arena adds: “Opening access to these products to all brokers in England and Wales is a fantastic signal of intent by the Ipswich Building Society and one that will bring huge benefits to our brokers and their clients alike.

“Ipswich Building Society is known for its handling of complex cases, which will no doubt be of interest to our members.

“However, that said, the society is also respected in terms of mainstream lending and we know that their personal, common-sense approach will appeal to members for more straightforward cases too.”
