The High-Wycombe based national packager is now a member of Fareham-based RAMP along with County Group, Solent Mortgage Services, MD Nationwide, Enterprise Homeloans, The Finance Centre, Vesta Money, EM-Financial, Pavillion and IMB.

Beacon Mortgages membership of RAMP takes the alliance’s collective mortgage turnover to over £4 billion per annum.

Brian Pitt, managing director of Beacon Mortgages, said: “This is good news for Beacon and good news for our customers. RAMP membership will give us first-rate compliance support and access to some of the best products available on the market today.”

John Rice, managing director of RAMP, said: “We now have ten national packagers on board, who represent the largest single slice of the non-conforming market, and a growing lending panel of 15. Our significance is growing stronger by the week.”

David Wylie, managing director of County Mortgage Services, said: “It’s always been our intention to take our board membership to ten, which we felt would represent a manageable and democratic number.”

RAMP’s lender panel consists of: Kensington Mortgage Company, First National, Preferred Mortgages, Commercial First, Capital Home Loans, igroup, Platform, Mortgages plc, SPML, Future, The Mortgage Distributors Co-operative and the GMAC brands of Victory Homeloans, Enterprise Homeloans, County Homeloans, EM-Financial Homeloans and Pavillion Homeloans.
