Saffron named Best Specialist Lender by Mortgage Advice Bureau
Saffron Building Society - the regional building society serving East Anglia - is delighted to have won Best Specialist Lender in the annual Mortgage Advice Bureau awards.
Saffron's financial strength, combined with its more modest size, means that while it is large enough to offer a diverse mortgage portfolio, it is able to consider each mortgage application on an individual basis.
John Eastgate, Sales and Marketing Director of Saffron Building Society, said: "We were delighted to hear the news of this award and are pleased that our flexibility and excellent levels of service have been recognised by the Mortgage Advice Bureau.
"At Saffron we steer clear of credit scoring, preferring to manually underwrite our mortgages and consider each case on its own merits. This, together with the opportunity to actually talk to a decision-maker, makes Saffron ideally places to meet the needs of the Specialist market."
Rob Jupp, Managing Director of Brightstar Financial, who sponsored the Award said: "Saffron Building Society is, in my opinion, the most dynamic and free thinking building society currently in the UK. They are prepared to listen and look at opportunity where it exists and support clients that become first class borrowers, but may be outside of current stifled lender thinking. "I am thrilled for the staff at Saffron for their second mortgage accolade of 2011 following, their commendation as best regional lender by What Mortgage earlier this year."
