Connect launches overseas mortgage sourcing tool

Geoff Simmonds, head of operations at Connect Overseas, said the new facility provides brokers with all the tools and information they need to offer a fully comprehensive mortgage service to their clients.

He said: “The system we have devised gives brokers the best of both worlds. Either they can contact a bank directly for decision in principle or formal mortgage offer and get paid the full procuration fee. Alternatively they can apply using one of our support services which includes our packaging service, quick refer service and off panel placement facility, to fit in with the way they want to work.

“The beauty of the service is that it opens up the doors of international mortgages to every broker. The system has been designed to be detailed yet simple to use to give the broker the confidence to discuss foreign mortgages with their clients, regardless of their experience. Members will also be able to access useful marketing tools, personalised quotations and case tracking facilities through the system as Connect Overseas Pro offers a fully comprehensive service to mortgage brokers.”
