Hodge is excited to announce its new partnership with Mortgage Broker Tools (MBT) by joining its affordability-first research platform. The partnership gives MBT’s broker members instant access to Hodge’s specialist mortgage solutions, helping them find suitable Hodge products for their clients in seconds.
Business development director for Hodge, Emma Graham said: “We know affordability is key for intermediaries when it comes to fact finding and it’s key for us at Hodge.
“Our Hodge Resi and Hodge Resi Retire propositions are based around maximising affordability for customers lending up to and into retirement.
“As a lender that uses 100% of all incomes, research tools like MBT will highlight key areas of our criteria helping brokers place more specialist cases for their customers.”
Using MBT’s integrated platform, advisers can run a single case and instantly see whether Hodge is a suitable lender – based on real-time affordability calculations, up-to-date criteria and live product data. This should create a smoother process, support stronger case submissions and help brokers evidence a robust audit trail for compliance purposes.
Tanya Toumadj, CEO at Mortgage Broker Tools, said: “We’re delighted to add Hodge for Intermediaries to our award-winning affordability, criteria and sourcing platform.
“Hodge brings a range of specialist solutions that are easily identified as appropriate for the case on the MBT system, enhancing our offering to our broker partners. Working with the Hodge team to onboard has been a pleasure, and we look forward to continuing to develop the partnership for the benefit of advisers and their clients.”
