Norton Home Loans has partnered with the digital mortgage broker Habito. 

Habito uses technology to search for products from over 90 different lenders, free of charge, and also provides legal and survey services to support the home-buying process.

Norton will offer its first charge mortgage products via the Habito platform, marking the latest move in Norton’s strategy to grow its distribution network, broadening its access for brokers to its specialist lending solutions.

This partnership sees Norton’s first charge range being made available to a select group of brokers through Habito’s pilot programme, which is already live and has successfully completed its first cases.

The move follows Norton’s recent partnership with L&C and highlights what it calls its “ongoing focus on growing its reach across both digital and traditional channels, making access to its services more readily available.”

Established over 50 years ago, Norton Home Loans assists clients who may not meet mainstream lending criteria, offering solutions for issues related to credit profiles, income, and property types.

A Norton spokesperson says: “We’re proud to join forces with Habito, a well-known name in the digital broker space. It’s an important step for us as we continue to grow our distribution and ensure more brokers can access our specialist products through the platforms that work best for them. The pilot is already delivering results, and we’re looking forward to seeing it develop further.”

And a Habito spokesperson adds: “We’re seeing increasing demand from our Mortgage Experts looking for reliable options to place cases that fall outside the mainstream. Customers with complex credit or income profiles need lenders who can take a more considered approach, and that’s exactly where Norton fits in. The early signs from the pilot have been really encouraging, and we’re pleased to be working closely with Norton to give our Mortgage Experts greater access to specialist solutions that meet the needs of these underserved segments.”
