Perenna Named “Innovation of the Year” at the British Bank Awards 2025

At the beginning of this year, we asked for your support – and you delivered! 

We’re incredibly proud to share that Perenna has been named Innovation of the Year at the 2025 British Bank Awards, run by Smart Money People. 

This award means the world to us. It’s not judged by panels or experts – it’s voted for by you, our customers. That makes this win even more special. 

Our Head of Product, Proposition & Distribution, John Davison, collected the award and said it best: 

“I was absolutely blown away last night to collect this award on behalf of Perenna and the fantastic team that have made long-term, flexible fixed rate mortgages a reality in the UK market. The winner of this award is chosen by real customers and is a reflection of the how our product is helping deliver positive outcomes and real change in our industry.  Perenna is here to change things and our customers love what we are doing.” 

It also reflects the belief, hard work, and passion of our brilliant team and partners. 

Smart Money People summed up the night by sharing that over 178,000 reviews were cast during the voting period – a huge show of support from real people, for real innovation. 

We also loved seeing your messages of support on LinkedIn and Instagram – thank you!

NEW: SVR impact calculator

For many borrowers, the amount they can borrow is a key priority. But do they realise that the product they choose can impact the amount they can borrow?  

Perenna’s fixed for life products don’t have an SVR or ‘revert’ rate that most short-term products have (and therefore no SVR based stress test)! This means we can unlock higher borrowing amounts for those who need it, whilst giving the flexibility of a short ERC period of 5 years.  

If maximising borrowing power is important to your client, we have a new tool that can help bring this to life. You can now easily see how a Perenna product compares with short-term fixed rate products. Why not give it a try today?

Recap of Perenna Live: Insights into lending criteria for brokers

Discover the latest from Perenna! Over 100 brokers recently joined our webinar led by Graham, Intermediary Support Manager, and Tim, National Account Manager. They highlighted essential lending insights that you won’t want to miss. 

Graham kicked off the session by exploring our long-term fixed rate proposition with short ERCs, and how this is a great addition to the UK market offering stability with flexibility.   

Tim explained in depth our recent enhancements to lending policy for non-UK nationals, as well as some of our new build products helping more first-time buyers onto the housing ladder.  

They both used case studies to bring the policy to life, with examples ranging from first time buyers, through to borrowers remortgaging, or lending into retirement – covering the full range of customers Perenna aims to serve. 

Perenna provide fixed-rate mortgages for the long term, which keep payments stable throughout the loan period with decreasing Early Repayment Charges (ERCs) over the first 5 years. 

Perenna shows commitment to inclusivity for older borrowers by offering mortgage products designed with no maximum age limits.

The webinar provided brokers with an overview of Perenna’s range, which includes high LTV options, support for self-employed applicants, and updated policies for foreign nationals and new build properties. For more information about Perenna’s lending criteria, please visit our website. 

During the Q&A session, Tim and Graham addressed numerous broker questions, highlighting strong interest in Perenna’s offerings and policies. Topics ranged from offer extensions to non-standard properties and specific case scenarios.  

Graham ended by emphasising how important the relationship between lender and intermediary is to Perenna, and how working together can help us to deliver better customer outcomes.
