Step One partnered with Twenty7Tec with the intention to provide a wider market of advisers with access to its newly launched product range.

Step One was established in 2010 and operates a specialist consumer finance platform.

Twenty7Tec’s SOURCE module, used daily by over 15,000 mortgage advisers, analyses product, criteria and lender affordability to simplify and increase the speed and efficiency of searching, applying for and obtaining a mortgage.

Nathan Reilly, director of lender relationships at Twenty7tec, said: “At Twenty7Tec we’re committed to making the mortgage research process as efficient as possible for CloudTwenty7 users.

“This makes continually adding new lenders to our SOURCE module absolutely essential, so advisers can identify the best options for their customers not only across our comprehensive range of mainstream lenders, but also with specialist and second charge lenders, such as Step One.”

Martin Porter, head of lending, added, “Our revised product range is competitively priced and offers a wide range of solutions for customers with different circumstances and borrowing needs.

“Our partnership with Twenty7Tec enables advisers to source for Step One mortgages more efficiently. This is a great benefit to advisers and their customers.”
