The integration allows advisers using Ignite to assess clients against April Mortgages’ affordability criteria, including its AffordAbility+ proposition.
April Mortgages has integrated its affordability proposition into Legal & General’s Ignite affordability system today (18th June 2026), giving advisers access to its lending calculations through the sourcing and research platform.
The integration allows advisers using Ignite to assess clients against April Mortgages’ affordability criteria, including its AffordAbility+ proposition, which offers borrowing of up to seven-times income for eligible applicants, alongside fixed-rate products ranging from five to 15 years.
April said the move would help advisers identify clients who may be able to access higher borrowing levels than those available through more traditional affordability assessments.
The lender’s proposition also includes unlimited overpayments, no early repayment charges when moving home or repaying from a borrower’s own funds, and automatic rate reductions as loan-to-value ratios improve.
James Pagan (pictured), director of product, portfolio and operations at April Mortgages, said: “We’re delighted to be joining Ignite and making it easier for advisors to access April’s affordability proposition.
“We’re seeing growing interest from advisors who want to understand how April’s modern approach to lending could help more of their clients.
“Too often, borrowers are constrained by traditional affordability models, despite having the income and circumstances to sustainably support homeownership.
“Through AffordAbility+, eligible customers can borrow up to 7x income, while our longer-term fixed rates provide payment certainty alongside features such as unlimited overpayments, no early repayment charges when moving home or repaying from their own funds, and automatic rate reductions as loan-to-value improves.
“By integrating with Ignite, we’re making it much easier for advisors to access our affordability model and identify where April could provide additional borrowing power, greater certainty and more flexibility for their clients.”
Kelly Bretherton, head of Ignite at L&G, said: “It’s really important to help brokers find the right lender and mortgage solutions for their clients’ individual needs, so we’re really pleased to welcome April Mortgages to Ignite, giving seamless access to additional forms of lending.”
Mark Eaton, chief operating officer at April Mortgages, added: “This integration is about more than technology; it’s about helping advisors find solutions for clients who may otherwise believe their options are limited.
“By making April’s affordability model available through Ignite, advisors can more easily identify customers who could benefit from our modern mortgage proposition, including eligible borrowers seeking up to 7x income lending and the certainty of our 5- to 15-year fixed rates.
“The addition of April further strengthens Ignite’s affordability offering and reflects the growing importance of technology in helping advisors navigate an increasingly diverse lending market.”
