Mortgage technology expert Mortgage Brain is to hold its next Criteria Masterclass on 19th January, on the topic of ‘Where home matters to everyone’.

The Masterclass is being run in association with Principality Intermediaries and will cover a host of topics related to complex mortgage cases. These include self-employed borrowers, joint borrower sole proprietor cases, varied income types and new build purchases, including help to buy.

The Masterclass will take place as an online webinar, and is available exclusively for users of Criteria Brain, the criteria-based sourcing solution from Mortgage Brain.

The free trial will provide new broker users with full access to Criteria Brain, as well as Affordability Brain, Mortgage Brain’s affordability-based sourcing solution, for 30 days.

Mortgage Brain held its first three Criteria Masterclasses in 2021, which were an enormous success with over 1,200 broker registrations. The sessions were chaired by Grace Teager, product owner (Criteria Brain and Affordability Brain) at Mortgage Brain, and delivered in association with The Mortgage Lender, CHL Mortgages and Principality Intermediaries. Subjects covered included the cost of the pandemic to self-employed borrowers, the opportunities presented by the holiday let market, and the limited company buy-to-let space.

Louise Apollonio, national account manager at The Mortgage Lender commented: “These events have great attendance and provide excellent interaction with brokers, which made for an enjoyable and worthwhile day. These are definitely events that we would consider being part of again.”

Ross Turrell, commercial director from CHL Mortgages said: "I am delighted with the way the Mortgage Brain team supported us throughout the process. This platform allowed us an excellent opportunity to talk and engage with mortgage advisers.”

Peter Caldicott, key account manager at Principality Intermediaries said: “The Criteria Masterclass was a great opportunity to engage with brokers across the UK and was really well received amongst those attending. We look forward to supporting future events.”

Neil Wyatt, sales and marketing director at Mortgage Brain, said: “We have had a fantastic response to our Criteria Masterclass sessions to date, which demonstrates the desire among brokers to keep on top of the developing trends within the market and how they can best support their clients. With increasing numbers of prospective borrowers now classed as having complex circumstances, I’m certain that there will be strong demand from advisers to attend our next session on 19th January.”
