Impact Specialist Finance introduces Covid-19 update

Impact Specialist Finance has introduced a ‘Specialist Lending Covid-19 Update’ for intermediaries.

The mortgage broker and distributor described it as a single point of reference for all relevant and up-to-date information regarding individual specialist lending offerings during the coronavirus pandemic.

Accessible to all intermediaries on the Impact Specialist Finance website, the update includes the latest news on valuations, mortgage payment holidays, lending restrictions and the current available product ranges from over 20 specialist lenders operating in the residential and buy-to-let sectors.

Impact Specialist Finance managing director, Dale Jannels, commented: “Generally speaking, lenders have done a great job communicating product changes during such unprecedented times.

“However, the sheer weight of ever-changing market conditions means that all specialist lenders have had to adapt propositions across the board and will undoubtedly continue to make adjustments on a regular basis. The vast majority have been proactive in their updates, although it remains tough for intermediaries to filter through the volume of constant changes.

“As such, we are working closely with lenders to better understand their evolving processes and to share this information with the intermediary community to help us all get through this difficult period and meet a range of clients’ ongoing specialist lending needs.”
