Today, 1.01 pm 100% we make it VERY clear they have to be open and honest and remind them that even if they're accepted off app the insurer can spot check them and if the medical or medical records don't match what they've told us then the policy won't do what they want it to and they're basica...
Today, 12.39 pm If a PT was available, did you make the client aware of this and explain the pros and cons of a PT over the remo? I don't think anybody is liable as such, the management company probably has no obligation  to respond quickly, the solicitor can't complete without it. The client will hav...

Yesterday, 5.31 pm Cancelled VF about a year ago, no value in the proposition. Was there from the beginning, was in every Sunday Times/Telegraph list of top brokers, never got me a single new client, just existing clients pleased to see I was there. The cost of the leads are an outrage. 
Yesterday, 5.04 pm By the end of the week it looks like we will have done more than the last 2 months combined.  No real new enquiries, just people we have been speaking to all finding properties at the same time. 
Yesterday, 3.18 pm Wondering what this means? To simplify our product range we’ve amended the loan to value (LTV) tiers, moving from previous 0-60, 0-75, 0-80 to a consistent structure 0–60, 60–75, 75–80 etc. Only the minimum LTV for each tier has changed. Are they effectively saying that som...
Yesterday, 2.58 pm Nick - as others have said,they can share with you both an Right to Work 'Code' and an Imimigration Services 'Code'. Both will show what they can do - and when they expire. Natwest did a case this time last year when one of the Applicants was an asylum seeker (who was working) ...
