igroup will be the first SMS non-branded lender to have a fully branded process including an on-site underwriter and external solicitors, while keeping control of the case from post offer through to completion.
Additionally the new service benefits borrowers by offering free legals on remortgages and return of valuation on GEM 5 and GEM 6 products.
“We have enjoyed a very positive relationship with igroup over many years and are delighted to strengthen the relationship by moving to a full branded lender status," said Ian Balfour, SMS' sales & marketing director.
"Being the only packager in the UK with a fully branded process with igroup all adds up to a great package for intermediaries and their clients.”
