Connect targets buy-to-let market

Kevin Ward, Connect head of operations, said: “We believe that buy-to-let is an area of the housing mortgage market that will continue to stay on trend.

“So far this year, confidence levels have remained high among lenders, advisers and landlords and with activity still booming within the private rental sector, there’s little doubt the trend has yet to reach its peak.

“Therefore to help our brokers, we are offering by far the most comprehensive package of BTL products and services available to the broking community.”

And he added: “For any good mortgage club getting exclusive products is only a job half done. At Connect Mortgage Club, we back up the products with full phone and online support where it is required as well as a marketing suite, which helps brokers write more business.”

The package includes:

• A range of exclusive and semi exclusive buy to let products via our Mortgage Club including the latest Precise 80% BTL and adverse BTL products

• Average DIP turnaround time within 4 hours

• Full broker support and back up

• Marketing items to help the approach to landlords, offering them help as well as advice and encouragement for tenants to think about protecting themselves, their lifestyle and the contents of their property.

• Access to mandated underwriters, dedicated underwriting team, meaning complex cases can normally be agreed first hand by the people who have the authority to agree or decline case.
