Re: Bridging loan leads to sell
Hi financeuk - I have sent you a PM
Teabags is correct in that often people assume they are looking for bridging finance when in fact there are other products out there.
However bridging finance is still a popular product. We tend to find we deal with enquiries from two main areas;
"short term finance" - property developers, finance for auction purchases, deposits on buy-to-lets or overseas property
"credit repair finance" - quick access to short term funds to avoid repossessions, insolvency, bankruptcy etc. Short term funding in place to allow customers breathing space to sort their finances out with a more appropriate long term solution, but allowing them to do it without suffering the adverse effects the above will have on their credit rating.
We have a specialist bridging panel of over 60 lenders and can assist all status clients. Although sub prime customers will have a slightly lower LTV of around 70%.
I feel that there is also an opportunity for finance affiliates to maxmise revenue with their secured loan declines. A client should not be sold a secured loan if it is clear that they require finance for less than 12 months. Thus in this instance the broker / lender may decline / refuse the lead and the affiliate will not get paid, despite having incurred the expense of capturing the lead in the first place. In many cases we can contact that customer and find a more appropriate short term finance solution for them, enabling the affiliate to earn revenue from an otherwise declined / dead lead.
I would be more than happy to discuss any of the above in more detail and should it be of interest please drop me a PM.
Thanks,
Chris.
