Suffolk BS joins IMLA as full member

Suffolk Building Society has announced that it has joined the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association.

Established in 1849, the lender offers a full range of mortgages from first-time buyer and family assist loans through to buy-to-let, self-build and later life lending, with the majority of its lending via Suffolk for Intermediaries.

As a full member of IMLA, Suffolk Building Society becomes part of a group of lenders responsible for more than 90% of the UK’s gross mortgage lending.

“We are very pleased to welcome Suffolk Building Society as a full member of IMLA," said Kate Davies, Executive Director of IMLA, "Suffolk combines the longevity and experience of a well-established traditional mutual with the innovative drive of a specialist lender. The Society places great emphasis on its intermediary relationships, and we look forward to working together to address the issues facing our industry and drive the market forward.”

Charlotte Grimshaw (pictured) added, “We’re delighted to be joining IMLA. The Association’s expertise in the intermediary space is exemplary, from representing the industry at government level, providing valuable insights, to educating the market on important topics. 

"With IMLA’s close alliances with the Building Societies Association and UK Finance, this relationship illustrates our dedication to the intermediary market. It’s great to now be part of this wider forum.”
