L&G Mortgage Services has added Harpenden Building Society to its surveying services panel.
The move will help advisers handle complex specialist and self-build mortgage cases.
As part of the partnership, L&G surveyors will be trained on Harpenden’s self-build process.
The self-build range covers barn conversions, new builds on owner-occupied land, rebuilds, and buying land with planning permission.
The partnership is set to improve support for customers who need bespoke lending, with a focus on keeping survey turnaround times efficient.
The products involved include options for employed, self-employed, and retired applicants, covering residential, lending-in-retirement, holiday lets, second homes, buy-to-let (BTL), and self-build mortgages.
Kevin Roberts, managing director, mortgage services at L&G, said: “We’re focused on creating partnerships that empower intermediaries and deliver better outcomes for customers.
“Adding Harpenden to our surveying services panel supports that mission, bringing greater choice to customers with complex needs, and reinforcing the importance of flexibility and specialist expertise in today’s lending landscape.
“We’re excited to be working more closely with a lender that shares our commitment to tailored service and innovation.”
Gemma Fient, director of operations at Harpenden Building Society, said: “We’re delighted to be expanding our partnership with L&G’s Mortgage Services business by joining their surveying services panel, which will help our customers continue achieving their financial goals, including those with non-standard properties.
“Our customers and intermediary partners will experience the benefit through consistent turnaround times, while our mortgage team will be able to monitor the progress of our instructions throughout the valuation process until submission of the report.
“This step will help the society achieve its long-term commercial goals and ultimately continue delivering the service it provides to its members.”
