Luckily for them, that’s exactly where you will come in. From starter homes to investment properties, you’ll be there on the end of the phone with the kind of advice that helps make property dreams come true. You’ll scope out the best mortgage options through listening to customers’ circumstances, fully documenting these and coming up with a solution that both meets their needs and satisfies regulatory rules and standards as you go. We’ll arm you with all the knowledge you need to help make the best decisions for our customers. Will they be best served by a fixed‑term or variable mortgage? Do they need the option to overpay each month? What about fee‑free early exit? You'll need to be clear, concise and confident, and by doing all this you’ll demonstrate L&C values, our passion for mortgages and why our customers were right to choose us.
