Summary:Speaking to Money Marketing, residential mortgage chief executive Colin Snowdon says [Aldermore] is targeting borrowers that may not meet mainstream lenders' credit-scoring criteria but which it believes are still creditworthy. "Where we are going to be pitching our residential tent is for prime borrowers - not sub-prime or self-certification - but our proposition is going to be different. We are going to have a very good system of brokers and we are not credit scoring, it is a rules-driven approach. "We are employing skilled underwriters who will look at the cases, understand what is going on and make a sensible decision on whether it is right to lend to that customer. We will not be a 'computer says no' lender."
