New version of Air Sourcing launched to support advisers during Coronavirus pandemic
21 April 2020
Answers in Retirement Group (Air Group), the Group of companies covering a range of retirement and later life services, has today (21st April 2020) launched a new version of its Air Sourcing platform for later life advisers covering off all Coronavirus-related updates and changes.
Air Sourcing - the free, one-stop platform for advisers to service their clients’ entire later life requirements – has been updated with new, fully comprehensive reference tools and filters to help users identify all the latest product and criteria changes made as a result of the ongoing Coronavirus crisis.
The new detail allows advisers to source based upon new lending criteria, loan and value maximums, pricing, LTVs, as well as providing detailed information on lenders’ new and existing valuation practices, their service standards plus instructions on what to do with existing pipeline cases.
Air Sourcing said the continuously updated information built into the system would be backed up by a comprehensive set of reference data, which would allow advisers to source the whole of the later life market with confidence at a time of significant change and disruption.
Air Group also recently launched a Hub for all advisory firms – accessible at www.airsourcing.co.uk/coronavirus - providing one location for advisers to find the very latest information, resources and materials in order to help them stay up-to-date and help them continue operating a successful business through this Coronavirus lockdown period.
Air Sourcing is now home to Air Group’s range of propositions which includes: Air Mortgage Club - the distributor for equity release and later life advisers; Air Later Life Academy – the commercial and training organisation for later life advisers; and Air Rewards - the Group’s reward scheme for awards.
Stuart Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of AIR Group, commented:
“In a very short space of time we have witnessed a considerable amount of change right across the later life product and criteria space. Keeping on top of these changes is a challenge at the best of times, but during this Coronavirus lockdown period, when the market is a real moveable feast, it can prove doubly difficult.
“This is why we’ve launched our updated version of Air Sourcing today that ensures advisers can have total confidence when researching appropriate products, as they’ll know they’re accessing the most up-to-date information from all providers.
“We’ve added in a number of new tools and filters to cover off changing practices and criteria, particularly around valuations and those cases which are currently in the pipeline. The team here are speaking to lenders on a daily basis to integrate the very latest information into the system.
“This is all about ensuring Air Sourcing is first choice for advisers when they want relevant and detailed product and criteria information, as well as a range of supplementary detail, resource and support to help all them through this period.
“We are focused on providing this and we are here to help all later life advisers whatever their requirements.”
