The addition of Manchester boosts the PMS panel to 49 lenders and will give advisers access to a range of competitive services.
Manchester predominantly provides residential and buy-to-let mortgages and offers a personalised service and bespoke risk assessments.
The society has been on the Sesame network lender panel for many years and now PMS members can also benefit from the Manchester’s individual, non credit-scoring approach to writing business.
John Cupis, managing director of PMS, said: “The Manchester is a strong, regional, mutual building society well known for its common–sense approach to underwriting. We believe this will be a welcome addition for our directly authorised intermediary customers.”
David Cowie, chief executive of Manchester, added: “We are very pleased to join the PMS lender panel. PMS members will be able to have clients’ cases discussed directly with our business development and underwriting teams, who conduct a personalised and rational assessment on each case based on the strength of the borrower’s covenant. This can provide a refreshing alternative to the automated services offered by most major lenders.”
