finova Payment and Mortgage Services has announced a new partnership with Earl Shilton Building Society (esbs).

The move expands the portfolio of lending products available to finova’s directly authorised (DA) broker club.

esbs joins finova’s growing panel of over 85 lenders, offering products from standard mortgages to specialist and niche lending solutions, including residential, buy-to-let, second charge, commercial and development, and equity release.

The society’s current product range includes five-year discount rates up to 95% LTV and will also consider applications with up to four applicants, where income from each of the applicants can be considered as part of their affordability assessment.

“We’re excited to enhance the range of lenders available to our broker network through the welcome addition of esbs,” commented head of business development at finova Connect, Sasha Sprake.

“With mortgage rates starting to stabilise, we’re beginning to see some borrowers resume their purchase plans and we’re confident that our intermediary members will be able to further support these customers through access to esbs’ varied offering.”

Business development and marketing manager at esbs, Richard Carson, added: “Our common-sense philosophy is simple: we assess every case on its own merits, and we always put the customer first. To that end, we are proud to partner with finova, who share our commitment to supporting both borrowers and intermediaries in today’s evolving market.”
