Halifax launches broker quiz

It builds on the the web poll launched earlier this year which quizzed brokers on topics ranging from usage of product transfer systems to the optimum fixed term of a mortgage.

The new survey is the first of a series of market research tools which will be used to gain an insight into today's intermediary market.

Topics include: whether access to online statements in excel and PDF would assist FSA reporting, the benefit of trailing fees and preferred payment frequency when it comes to proc fees.

Paul Chapman, head of sales, Halifax Intermediaries said: "There is no denying that the mortgage market has seen a lot of change this year. Our market research covers some of the industry's hot topics, but it’s all about getting a clear view of what our intermediary partners value most in today's market.

"We'd like to encourage all brokers to register their views. The output of this series of market research activity will help us form our ongoing strategy and achieve our ultimate aim, to make it easier for brokers to do business with us. This is about giving brokers the chance to shape our business."
