A&L named as top lender in Q4 2009
Alliance & Leicester has emerged as the most competitive lender of Q4 2009, according to research by Evaluate Technologies.
A&L, part of Santander, ranked as the most consistently competitive lender during Q4, seizing the crown from HSBC which the company named as the most competitive lender during Q3.
Rankings are based on a points system whereby lenders were given a point for each time their products appeared in Evaluate’s list of the top 10 mortgage deals between October and December.
A&L netted a score of 23, ahead of First Direct which had a score of 19 points and Woolwich which came in with 15. HSBC slipped down to fourth place in Q4 with a score of 14 points.
Julie Speed, national accounts director at Evaluate, says: “Brokers will be particularly pleased to see the emergence of A&L as this shows that lenders still value the intermediary market.”
