Skipton’s head of new lending Karen Appleton and intermediary lead John Scrivens debate how advisers might want to approach the £40bn of remortgage business reaching term-end in 2022, the mutual’s nuanced strategy on getting new build deals through and its own ‘penny perfect’ mortgage calculators and the difference that can make to the application process.
With something like 40 per cent of remortgage cases coming in over-valued right now, our panel brainstorms pre-prepping valuation documents to get them to stack up for the lender and the extra help on hand for specialist cases increasingly hitting the lender’s desk.
