Yorkshire enhances online proposition

The building society is making online mortgage approvals in principle (AIPs) available exclusively to L&G’s network of mortgage advisers.

John Cupis, sales and marketing director of L&G’s Mortgage Club, said: "The commitment of Yorkshire Building Society and the other lenders to deliver functionality for Mortgage Decisions users is providing real benefits in terms of time and cost to intermediaries to conduct their mortgage business online. We are progressing the development of online links with lenders and will be launching a second generation service offering more choice and greater functionality to intermediaries in the spring."

Rachel Court, national intermediary manager at Yorkshire Building Society, said: "We are delighted to be working with L&G to provide intermediaries with fully automated online application facilities. This new functionality will allow us to deliver tangible improvements in service to advisers and their clients."
