The MBT Affordability platform aims to save brokers time by providing them with results from a wider lender panel without needing to rekey data on multiple lender calculators.
The tool, which helps brokers know how much their clients can afford to borrow, was already being used by Connells Group subsidiaries and Dynamo, loading directly into the Connells point of sale system.
Now, MBT said, Countrywide advisers would also have access to the system as a way to help brokers save time and write more business.
Through a panel of more than 40 residential and 66 buy-to-let lenders MBT Affordability gives brokers an accurate look, rather than merely estimates, at how much their clients can borrow. MBT said results would be available in less than a minute.
Graham Closier, mortgage development director for Connells Group, said: “Due to its accuracy, simplicity and speed, the affordability tool has proven to be a big hit with our mortgage consultants since we partnered with MBT in 2019. The tool gives our consultants the confidence to accurately present affordability results to their customers quickly, rather than spending time manually calculating affordability for multiple lenders.”
Tanya Toumadj (pictured), MBT’s chief executive, said: “We have worked with Connells Group since 2019 and this launch of MBT Affordability to all Countrywide advisors is testament to just how much the platform is able to help brokers in their daily role.”
