Wave brings Kudos to market

The service is aimed at providing borrowers with mortgages which have been individually tailored to satisfy their personal requirements. Applicants will be visited in their own home or workplace by a senior underwriting manager. Once the client’s financial adviser has established their needs the underwriter will design an appropriate loan package.

The Kudos team will be headed-up by Mel Bignall who joined Wave in 2006 and developed the company’s mobile underwriting strategy. Mel will be supported by Peter Buckley, who was the Northern regional underwriter at GMAC RFC before joining Wave.

Richard Spinks, director of credit and product development at Wave, said: “There is an increasing demand for very large loans from people who have complex financial circumstances and a shortage of time to hunt down a deal which best suits their needs.

“Kudos is all about providing an exclusive service in which mortgages are individually created to meet the clients precise needs. Applications will be underwritten by senior underwriting managers who have the authority to make decisions and ensure the application progresses to completion as quickly as possible.”
