Affordability remains a key focus for intermediaries and lenders, whether this be due to a change in employment patterns, higher costs of borrowing, continued pressure of the cost of living, or a combination of all three. Hear how the market and lenders are likely to adapt in 2024.

Affordability and Adaptability in 2024

The Climate is Changing, Should You?

Our March coffee morning will be focused upon the Self-employed market, and for this session, our usual host Sophie Holloman, will be joined by Jonathan Mann, Corporate Account Manager at One Savings Bank Group.

The self-employed market is constantly evolving and with it the need for lenders to adapt, especially when it comes to how they assess their incomes which are often in complex structures. Self-employed customers are struggling more than ever to secure the mortgage or loan they need with mainstream lenders, due to trading periods of less than 2-3 years or their unpredictable and varied income structures.  

It’s important that lenders understand the difficulties self-employed customers face and can take a more pragmatic and flexible approach when underwriting their cases. As an adviser, it’s equally important to understand how lenders operate in this space so you can fully support your self-employed customers.

This session will look at:

• Identifying affordability boosters 
• Why understanding financial and trading year ends can make the difference 
• A lender’s interpretation on accounts and tax calculations/tax year overviews
• Share Net Profit, Returned Profit Adverse Projections
• Complex incomes; Day rate contractors/IR35, CIS workers

Why should you talk to the Swansea Building Society about a mortgage case?

In 2023, the cost of living crisis stretched household income, higher interest rates put pressure on those looking to remortgage, product transfer transactions sky rocketed and many first time buyers were stopped in their tracks. We saw inflation climb, the cost of running a business mounting, the introduction of consumer duty and house prices at their peak compared with income levels however, it’s not all negative news. We saw a 25% rise in stock of homes for sale in December and a mortgage price war at the start of the year. So what’s in store for 2024?

What’s next for Re-mortgages and Product Transfers?

Navigating the specialist mortgage market is not always easy, people are complex but mortgage lending doesn’t need to be.  Approximately 1.6 million households will come to the end of their fixed rate mortgage in 2024 with many customers facing a very different set of circumstances than when they first sought their mortgage deal.  The cost of living crisis means that 1 in 5 people have missed a payment in the last 12 months, affordability still remains a challenge and lending on non-standard properties or those near commercial can be tricky. Here at United Trust Bank, we understand that it can be difficult to know where to place your case. We have residential, buy-to-let and second charge products that can support you to help more customers.
