Commercial Finance Spotlight with Omega Commercial Solutions

The UK’s evolving demographics, as well as shifts in the way we work, have changed the needs of mortgage borrowers and in response, lenders need to adapt their products to ensure homeownership is accessible to all.

One area where there is clearly an increasing need for better lending solutions is amongst foreign nationals and data shows that increasing numbers of skilled workers are coming to the UK to fill acute labour shortages in key areas such as healthcare and IT.

In this webinar we’ll look at:
• The data around foreign nationals and why we decided to enter this market
• The barriers many foreign national borrowers face
• The need for innovative lending solutions
• What’s coming next
• Are brokers missing out by not doing this?
• A look at the cases we’re receiving – countries, professions, etc
• Q & A

Helping brokers say ‘Yes’ to more foreign national borrowers

First time buyers are facing significant challenges, such as reduced availability of high loan-to-value mortgages, increased house prices, and stricter lending criteria.

Therefore, there is a need for more support and innovation from lenders and brokers to help first time buyers overcome these barriers and access the mortgage market.

Join us for an informative and engaging panel webinar where we will explore the current state of the first time buyer market in the UK, the challenges and opportunities for mortgage brokers, and the solutions that some of the leading lenders can offer. Our panel of experts will share their insights and best practices on how to help first time buyers achieve their homeownership goals, and answer your questions live. Whether you are new to the first time buyer segment or looking to grow your business, this webinar will provide you with valuable information and guidance.

How can we further understand the big issues for FTBs? And once we do, how do we start to resolve them? Where are there gaps in the market, and are lenders acting fast enough to fill them? We discuss these issues and welcome broker’s questions.

Join Derek Adams, Senior National Accounts Lead at Skipton, for an insightful discussion on: 
• Affordability Index / cost of living
• Change of government
• Saving for deposit
• Thinking outside of the box – criteria and points of difference to other lenders
• Skipton's new FTB range – lowering the ladder to make home ownership more accessible
• Q&A

First time buyers - Lowering the ladder to home ownership

Specialist lenders can be much more flexible than high street lenders. They can offer mortgage solutions suited to a wider range of clients financial needs. This flexibility is likely to suit those who may struggle on the high street such as first time buyers, self employed or those with less-than-perfect credit histories and unlikely to get far with the big name banks.
 
Mortgage affordability tests are getting harder to pass, while lending criteria is becoming increasingly tight. However, while barriers are thrown up for all but the most vanilla of cases, specialised lending takes a manual human approach to understanding the client’s needs. 
 
Join the Aldermore webinar to look at two cohorts of clients who are underserved, unloved and misunderstood in the market today.
 
• First time buyers have faced many challenges over the last few years, with the cost of living increases and rising house prices. To make sure they are in the best possible position to get on to the property ladder for the first time, the support and knowledge of a broker has never been more vital. 
• Self Employed can feel like there's a lot of hoops to jump through to find a mortgage because of your accounts and complex income,  from builders to plumbers, techies to contractors, whether you're a limited company or sole trader, we'll look at the big picture.

Sophie and Gareth will discuss the complexities involved with million pound plus properties which often require the services of lenders that many DA firms don’t have access to. However, by using the Referral Pro Scheme, DA firms can assist clients whose needs involve high valuations, by partnering with the right firm, and in doing so, how you as a mortgage adviser, can earn commission for referring these types of clients.

Self-employed lending in the UK - challenges and opportunities

With sensible advice, a mortgage in retirement can enhance, not hinder, the golden years. It’s about what suits your client’s needs. Paying off a mortgage by retirement has been the norm and may be the best solution for a lot of clients.  But what if a mortgage could provide the freedom other clients need in retirement? 

Retirement should be a time for relaxing and living, away from the pressures of work. Financial worries, especially around your home, can ruin any planned relaxation. And that’s why, at Perenna, we believe in providing options.  

Join Deb Reeves, National Account Manager at Perenna for this insightful webinar on how Perenna are offering much needed solutions for those homeowners looking to borrow into retirement.

The opportunity in this market is massive where customers regularly feel that they will not have options due to being self employed so in this webinar we will be showing you the opportunity in this market, how self employed customers feel when it comes to getting a mortgage and how our approach at Saffron For Intermediaries can support these customers with great outcomes.
