Viva Costa Launches new website

The new site provides brokers with unprecedented access to information and services relating to the overseas mortgage and property market.

This year, Viva Costa announced that Michael Clapper - the former founder and chief at Enterprise Group - took an equity stake in the business, then a new affinity partnership was announced with Mortgage Brain to display Viva’s overseas mortgages, and last month it announced an increase in the proc fees they pay across all countries.

The new website now provides the key lending criteria for all panel countries, plus a new search facility - ‘Property Portal’ - which allows search facilities for available overseas property stock across all countries.

Brokers are able to have a version of the new site for their own websites - either a free version for the ‘mortgage only’ site, or an own-branded and fully maintained version of the ‘Property Portal’ for £250 per year. Property sales can generate commissions of up to 5% of the purchase price.

Brokers can request BDM or franchise visits, submit ‘decision in principle’ requests, access online case tracking for pipeline cases, and apply for currency exchange services on behalf of their clients.

Adrian Holland, managing director at Viva Costa International said, “We are very pleased with our many developments this year and the business volumes that have followed. Our new website reflects our fresh approach and ensures easy broker access to this highly lucrative market.”
