Question of Knowledge
Lendinvest
As lenders increasingly seek to minimise their risk, self-employed individuals and first-time buyers often find themselves at a disadvantage. However, with more lenders introducing targeted products for these groups, the question arises: what’s the best option?

Our Residential mortgage products are specifically designed to help those facing difficulties securing a mortgage through traditional avenues. Whether due to credit history, employment status, or affordability, these products are tailored to support individuals in purchasing their first or next home.

With six comprehensive solutions for those overlooked by high street banks, our mortgages offer a reliable Plan B for brokers managing complex cases.

Attendees who participate in the full session will be sent a email to confirm attendance which can be used for CPD

Consumer Buy to Let
Becoming an accidental landlord can happen to anyone. Be it through an inherited property or moving in with significant other, a Consumer Buy to Let mortgage offers more protection for the property owner than a standard, unregulated, Buy to Let. They also require more planning to ensure every element is fully compliant and this naturally falls to the broker. Do you know how to approach a Consumer Buy to Let and the differences between a standard Buy to Let and a regulated one? Join us for our next LIVE Criteria Clinic at 10am on Monday 5th August 2024 where we will be answering your questions on criteria relating to Consumer Buy to Let!

Question of Knowledge
Knowledge Bank - Question of Knowledge with Kent Reliance
The self-employed mortgage market is bigger and more complex than ever before, there are a potential 4.2 million customers with widely different circumstances and businesses, and it’s a market crying out for broker support. Many self-employed and freelance workers don’t think lenders will treat them fairly. Many of the mainstream lenders simply don’t cater with complex criteria to compliment the variety and variations found in this market, that’s where specialist lenders can really shine. In this session we will look at how lenders assess and interpret self-employed accounts whilst also showing you how our criteria can help support you with 1 years trading, retained profits, using accountant projections, last year’s figures or using an average. Attendees who attend the full session will be sent learning certificates which can be used for CPD. We encourage brokers to ask questions during the event, but if you would like to provide us with any questions you have in advance, please supply when registering. We will do our best to get through as many as possible during the live session.
