The ability to upload supporting documents directly to a case is just one of many enhancements launching on Wednesday 28th March. The upgrade to Accord’s existing MATS system will include the following:
- Document Upload Facility – allows brokers to securely attach documents straight to the case they apply to for a speedier, more efficient service.
- Outstanding Documents Reminder – Accord will remind brokers about outstanding paperwork to help keep the broker informed and to speed up case processing.
- Down-valuation Help – If the valuation is lower than expected, Accord will provide a simple Q&A to help the broker work with their client on what to do next.
- Fewer Emails – To keep down inbox clutter, only one email will be sent every morning summarising all business with Accord, instead of one per case.
- Solicitors kept informed – Accord will now advise solicitors about the stages that require their input.
“We will be opening up the functionality to brokers from Wednesday 28th March and we envisage its roll-out will speed up and simplify the application process.
“Brokers will also receive a streamlined daily email update containing information on the progress of all active cases.
“Coupled with the 30% increase in the number of mortgage processing staff at Accord and our expanded BDM team we think this will make a real difference to intermediaries, providing them with not only a more efficient service but a richer one also.”
