Skipton BS launches new intermediary-focused proposition

Skipton Building Society has announced the launch of 'Let’s Find a Way', a new proposition designed specifically for mortgage intermediaries.

The new proposition pledges a "refreshed, broker-first approach" across the Society. 

Skipton says Let’s Find a Way reflects its aim of working more closely with intermediaries to support their clients – particularly those with complex, non standard or emerging needs.

As part of the proposition, Skipton promises speed and efficiency for straightforward cases, combined with flexibility and experienced decision making when circumstances don’t fit a template. 

The Society aims to do this through clearer criteria, accessible expertise and products shaped by "real world challenges".

Let’s Find a Way also brings together Skipton’s solutions such as Track Record, which helps renters demonstrate payment history, Income Booster to support affordability through family or friend assistance, and Delayed Start which is designed to give first-time buyers breathing space after completing on their mortgage. 

Paul Fenn, business development director at Skipton Building Society, said: “Getting onto the property ladder is harder than ever, and brokers are on the front line of that challenge. Let’s Find a Way is about starting from a mindset of possibility — combining strong systems with human judgement to support brokers and help more of their clients achieve a positive outcome.

"We’re a ‘yes led’ lender where it makes sense: yes to keeping things simple, yes to common sense lending and yes to working collaboratively with intermediaries. This new brand clearly signals how we’re different and reinforces that we’re committed to listening, innovating and finding solutions together.”
