MCI Mortgage Club has launched its own branded version of Air Sourcing to help advisers find the right later life lending deals for their clients.

The platform has been tailored to reflect the MCI’s own panel which has recently expanded.

The move was driven by a combination of member demand and the club’s recent research, which found that 43 per cent of business principals are expecting  growth in equity release and later life lending over the next year.

It also found that over a third of principals are actively looking to expand into the sector.

MCI Mortgage Club head Melanie Spencer says: “Our collaboration with Air Sourcing reinforces our commitment to new and existing members.

“Later life lending has established itself by providing genuine solutions to the over 55s and, as this area of the population continues to increase, it is only natural that advisers want to service and enable this group.

“As a club, through a competitive and expanding panel backed with best-of-breed solutions, such as Air Sourcing, we’re providing advisers with the very best tools to service this exciting sector.”

Air Group chief executive Stuart Wilson says: “We applaud MCI’s approach to support its members and its ongoing investment in both technology and product availability and look forward to supporting them as they continue to build its proposition.”
