Legal & General has integrated 10 lenders into its mortgage research tool SmartrFit. 

SmartrFit can be accessed by all advisers using a Legal & General agency number, or via third parties including SimplyBiz Mortgages, One Mortgage System, and Smartr365.

The tool will now allow advisers to carry out criteria, affordability, and product searches for residential and buy-to-let mortgages from a panel of up to 73 lenders.

New residential lenders include Teachers for Intermediaries, Newbury Building Society, and Newcastle for Intermediaries.

The mortgage research tool will also include results for Mansfield Building Society, Darlington Building Society, and Quantum Mortgages’ buy-to-let ranges. 

Legal & General Mortgage Club head of lender relationships Denny Belton says: “These additional providers will ensure there’s even more choice for advisers, and crucially, their customers, especially beyond high street lenders.”

“By integrating more bespoke mortgage lenders that specialise in residential and buy-to-let markets, we are pleased to enable access to a broader range of providers which may prove particularly useful for landlords with specific borrowing needs.”
