Ian Wilson, chief executive of The Property Franchise Group, said: “We are delighted to have entered into a partnership with London & Country and we can now offer our clients an efficient financial services solution anywhere in the UK.
“We chose telephone and web fulfilment because people are busy and do not find it convenient to attend long meetings with mortgage advisors.
“Once you are a customer you can track the progress of your case on-line. You know the mortgage is the best in the market for your needs and you will pay no fee for the advice.”
London & Country is the UK’s largest fee free mortgage broker with a 3% market share. This year they expect to arrange £9bn worth of mortgages and process 43,000 applications, of which 20% will be buy-to-let.
Phillip Cartwright, managing director of London & Country, said: “Our partnership with The Property Franchise Group is mutually beneficial and we are delighted to be associated with the UK’s largest property franchisor.
“They have one of the biggest client bases in the sector and we are looking forward to helping their customers take advantage of our award winning, fee free service.”
