Inter-Alliance joins forces with Platform

Inter-Alliance's mortgage proposition was launched in January 2003. Since then as the group has positioned itself for approaching regulation a full range of services and products has been developed for both qualified and non mortgage qualified advisers. With the addition of Platform, an all status lender, to its panel, Inter-Alliance will be able to offer intermediaries competitive rates on non-conforming, Right to Buy and prime mortgages as well as self-certification and buy-to-let products.

Stuart Wilson, Mortgage Development Director at Inter-Alliance, said: "Having positioned the group in the network market for Mortgage business we plan to recruit higher producing mortgage specialists in addition to our existing IFAs and advisers. Platform is a significant addition to the lenders we are working with in offering a complete range of products and services to intermediaries. They bring leading products to meet a wide range of customer needs and I believe we can build strong business levels with them."

Guy Batchelor, Sales and Marketing Director of Platform, added:

" We have watched the development of Inter-Alliance Mortgages with interest and are delighted to join their panel. We, like Inter-Alliance, are offering a whole of market proposition and we look forward to working closely with them, especially as we both feel that the specialist mortgage market is largely untapped by them."
