Just Mortgages has announced it is opening applications for its first training academy specifically dedicated to new build lending.

The first batch of new build brokers will begin their training on 19 July 2021 and there are five places available.

Applicants will need a basic level of knowledge of the mortgage industry, the mortgage brokerage stated, and have at least completed their CeMAP 1 for the four-week course. The training will cover topics such as lender criteria, Help to Buy, and shared ownership.

The new build training academy is part of Just Mortgages’ growth plans to double in size over the next three to four years, with aims to reach 1,000 brokers by 2023/24.

“We have seen tremendous growth in new build as of late, and as such we are expanding our new build division,” commented financial services director of Just Mortgages’ new build division, John Doughty.

“We want to attract fresh blood into the business and to do that, we must make sure brokers understand the intricate differences between new build and standard that advisers need to be aware of.

“We are offering a five-star level of training, backed by extensive support to equip these brokers with the understanding and knowledge they need to succeed in the new build sector.”
