We’re here to help you secure the right mortgage for more of your customers. 

We’ll be supporting you and customers across mainland Scotland with specialist Residential and Buy to Let mortgages, including Limited Company and HMOs. We’re here with a strong understanding of the Scottish home-buying process, dedicated regional support, and service that’s second to none.

More opportunities for more customers

From customers with complex income or a limited credit history to first-time landlords and smaller portfolio landlords, we’re here to help you explore more ways forward.

Here to help you support more customers

Every customer has a story. Not every story fits the mould of a high street lender.

Our specialist expertise and human underwriting approach can help you support a wider range of customer circumstances, including:

  • Customers rebuilding after credit challenges and missed secured credit payments
  • Customers with complex, multiple, or variable income sources
  • Recently self-employed customers
  • First-time buyers with smaller or gifted deposits
  • Customers with limited credit histories
  • Customers looking to consolidate unsecured debt
  • First-time landlords who already own their home
  • Smaller portfolio landlords with up to 10 properties


Every application is assessed by experienced underwriters who consider the full picture and the customer circumstances presented to us.

Here with a deep understanding of Scottish home buying

Buying a home in Scotland follows a distinct process, from Home Reports and Offers Over, conclusion of missives and completion. We’ve developed our proposition, guidance, and support around these key stages with the help of brokers in Scotland, supporting you place cases with clarity from day one.

Home Reports and valuations

We’ll accept Home Report retypes on Residential purchase applications with the exceptions of new builds and concessionary purchases. Buy to Let applications require a full valuation. AVMs area accepted on residential remortgages where qualify.

Progressing to completion

Once an offer has been issued, our broad panel of Scottish solicitors can support the case through to completion.
