Today, 12.32 pm That is palatable........but then I guess it all hinges on your process (I.E if and when you charge......plus how much).  I can't for one minute think being a "fee free" broker would be viable if you needed to buy leads.  
Today, 12.14 pm Can you do it as a paper based application instead of using the system?
Today, 12.07 pm Thanks everyone. I have found a home with Gen H at 90% LTV - refugee status is fine. Also had Accord - but just missed out on them - they needed £60k joint but they earn £55k between them.  Barclays were ok but do not lend to refugee status. HSBC like Halifax need £75k join...
Today, 12.01 pm £40 a pop? Sensible for a 'sensible' lead

Today, 11.58 am Hi all, So I have a client (45 years old vaper) who wants a Life and Income Protection policy packaged within one plan. He recently had a seizure and all tests confirm there is no epilepsy or tumor etc and was apparently classed as "a one off event".  I do know son (5) overheats and...
Today, 11.57 am I purchased 25, none went to business and I have been managing with leads for 17 years so I know how to handle them. I was suprised at the poor quality. I believe a 5% conversion ratio is resonable so would have expected at least one to convert - to be fair one nearly did but was a bit of a no hoper...
Today, 11.57 am Anon could also possibly benefit but thinking again about the what's of offer list What’s on offer: DA firm Competitive splits Compliance support Full lender panel access This list hardly differentiates from our DA firms For example, iff we were looking to attract new advisers w...

Today, 9.33 am Senior lenders say focus has shifted from legal uncertainty to delivery, as firms look for faster, lower-friction ways to handle commission complaints and redress at scale. Motor finance lenders are turning to agentic AI as they prepare for the operational demands of the FCA’s redress scheme,...
