Market Harborough Building Society streamlines Decision in Principle

04 February 2026

Complex case and bridging finance specialist Market Harborough Building Society has made significant changes to streamline its Decision in Principle (DIP), with fewer questions and a more intuitive journey, delivering a slicker, broker-first experience.

These changes form part of the Society’s ongoing drive to support even more brokers with specialist lending cases, whilst making the experience as smooth as possible for both brokers and their clients.

Market Harborough’s head of mortgage distribution Iain Smith said:

“We’re building real momentum in 2026, and that starts, as always, by listening closely to brokers. These refinements to our DIP are another step in our mission to make specialist lending and bridging finance as straightforward as possible. By simplifying the journey, we’re giving brokers back valuable time and helping them place complex cases with confidence. It’s a clear demonstration of our commitment to being an easy, supportive and solutions focused partner for brokers and their clients with unique scenarios.”

The enhanced process is now live for all new DIPs.

This news comes hot on the heels of the specialist lender’s launch into central Scotland. This marked a significant milestone for the award-winning Society and reflect its commitment to provide more choice and flexibility for out-of-the-ordinary mortgage cases. The Society has introduced dedicated BDM support for Scotland, alongside tailored guidance for brokers operating in the region.

Market Harborough is recognised for its flexible approach to simple and more complex mortgage cases, including clients with non-standard income, unusual property types, multi gen/JBSP, expats, borrowing into retirement and multi layered cases.
