Description

When we started Kensington we were the first specialist lender to offer mortgages to people the high street turned down.

Nearly 25 years later, we're the UK's leading residential specialist mortgage lender still blazing a trail offering people the chanceto get a mortgage.

Where high street lenders see black and white, we've always used our expertise and manual underwriting capability to see the shades in between.

In a market where changing lifestyles mean more people are falling outside the traditional mortgage criteria,it's an approach that can make a real difference to people who want to own a property.

It's what we call the Kensington Difference.
