The deal allows advisers who use the sourcing platform to search for results from Norton’s range of products
Specialist finance broker Norton Broker Services has announced a partnership with mortgage research and product sourcing platform Legal & General Ignite.
With the deal, advisers who use Legal & General Ignite can now search for results from Norton’s range of products, along with real-time updates to criteria and pricing.
In addition, advisers can access regulatory support through the platform, as it gives users the ability to produce and save compliance documents, including the European Standardised Information Sheet (ESIS) and Evidence of Research, to ensure they are meeting industry standards.
Norton Broker provides secured loans with no maximum loan-to-values, as well as a range of other specialist products, including unsecured loans, mortgages, commercial mortgages, and bridging.
Legal & General Ignite brings together borrower criteria, an integrated affordability calculator, product sourcing and property checking tools to provide users with a valuable service to support clients. It recently integrated with mortgage and protection platform Smartr365.
“Legal & General Ignite is a fantastic tool that makes it easy for advisers to source a tailored and suitable solution for their clients,” commented Paul Stringer (pictured), director at Norton Finance.
“Norton began as a family business, and almost 50 years on, we still believe in the priceless value of a personal touch. With Ignite, our advisers will be able to provide a top-notch personalised customer experience, and we are delighted to watch our partnership with Legal & General evolve in time.”
Jodie White, head of product and innovation at Legal & General Technology, added that the new partnership would combine advanced sourcing and research tools with human expertise, saving advisers time and transforming the customer experience.
“At Legal & General, equipping advisers with the very best in mortgage technology is our most important goal,” White stressed. “In a market that’s bursting with diverse products, Legal & General Ignite ensures brokers can cut through the noise and leverage technology to pick the right solution for their clients.
“Norton Finance has worked on the frontlines of complex client cases for almost half a century, and we both appreciate the value of a richly personalised service.”
