Self-employed clients can sometimes struggle to find the right mortgage for them, especially if they don't know where to look. Criteria, affordability, evidence of income are all factors that may cause a self-employed client to trip up on an application, how can we help them to find the right mortgage for them?

We'll be joined by lenders from across the industry, to discuss the self-employed market. Guest speakers include;

Steve Hewitt from Aldermore
Jade Wooldridge from Hinckley & Rugby For Intermediaries
Louise Apollonio from The Mortgage Lender

Come prepared with your questions for the lenders, to ask in this live panel discussion.

Supporting Your Self-Employed Clients

With pressures mounting on borrowers' finances with the rise of gas and electricity, council tax, food shopping and climbing inflation, more and more borrowers are falling outside the criteria of the high street. Thus we are seeing an upsurge in the demand for specialist lending. If you think about it, one missed mortgage payment or arrears on some of your household utilities could ultimately mean that you can no longer shop on the high street and so it is essential that all options are considered when deciding who the most appropriate lender is to fulfil your customer’s needs.

It’s not just adverse credit that is fuelling the growth of the specialist lending sector however, it’s the holistic approach adopted by specialist lenders to accommodate those that are underserved by the high street whether that be relating to the self-employed or complex income, adverse credit or unusual property types and constructions such as concrete, timber framed, high rise or next to a commercial.

United Trust Bank are a growing bank based in central London that offers a range of specialist mortgage products to help you with cases that don’t quite fit on the high street. They offer residential products, BTL and second-charge loans to help you with all of your specialist needs. The aim of this webinar is to highlight the types of customers that fall into this area and equip you with the tools and knowledge to help them.

Growing Opportunities for Brokers in the Specialist Market

Andrew Cappaert, National Account Manager at Brightstar will discuss the essential need in a contracted market to ensure you are looking at the potential of new opportunities in new areas and not just relying on how you have done things previously.

The need to find solutions for your client is as important as ever because if you can’t find the right product, then they will find someone else who will.

By providing the right solution to your clients’ needs not only helps your client retention but can also lead to further opportunities in the future.
What key questions can you ask in a fact find which may lead to a holistic approach and new revenue streams?

Why, more than ever, this is the year of working smarter not harder

The current residential mortgage market is challenging. The cost of living crisis, new complex income streams, and an increase in adverse credit are all challenges faced by homebuyers who need the right support.

Why do we all need to prepare for the resurgence of homeowner mortgages?
