NatWest Intermediary Solutions will be introduced as the RBS Group’s intermediary mortgage proposition for Northern Ireland next month. NatWest Intermediary Solutions currently operates in England, Wales and Scotland and will offer Northern Ireland mortgage brokers exactly the same proposition, lending criteria and policy.

Graham Felstead, Head of Intermediary Mortgages, NatWest Intermediary Solutions, said, “This is a positive move for brokers in Northern Ireland as we are well placed to support the future growth and sustainability of mortgage lending in the province. It will result in an enhanced overall service that will provide mortgage intermediaries with a bespoke proposition offering them greater choice and flexibility in addressing their customers’ mortgage requirements.

“To ensure that brokers are brought fully up to speed with this new arrangement, we will be holding two events prior to launch to welcome them to NatWest, to explain our processes and to give them a better understanding of our products and lending criteria. We are really looking forward to working in partnership with the brokers of Northern Ireland and have an appetite to grow our lending to their customers.”

Invitations to the launch events will be sent out to brokers in due course.
