Legal & General Mortgage Club has published a dedicated Covid-19 FAQ page, available to all advisers around the country.
The hub offers Club members and non-members the latest information from around 90 lenders on changes to their application requirements, as well as advice on areas of potential difficulty during the crisis.
The FAQs are free to view on the Club’s website and have been designed to help ensure all advisers can keep their businesses running as smoothly as possible while they respond to the disruption caused by the coronavirus crisis.
Alongside details of lenders’ electronic ID&V capabilities, automated verification models (AVM), desktop valuation options and criteria changes, the FAQs also include information on how advisers can best manage day-to-day responsibilities, including communication with providers, clients, relationship managers and Club staff. Details on procuration fees and Legal & General Mortgage Club events can also be located on the page.
Since launching the Covid-19 FAQs, Legal & General Mortgage Club has tracked over 2,500 unique visitors to the site, which is also recording a 40% return rate. Of those visitors, 65% have directly engaged with the content, either navigating to associated resources on the Club’s site, or to a partner location.
Legal & General Mortgage Club will also be announcing a revised events schedule, which will include details of new dates and locations for events which have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
