Accord Buy to Let has moved on to their Mortgage Sales and Origination (MSO) portal
Accord will be offering top slicing, lending in Scotland and BTL new build when they launch BTL on their Mortgage Sales and Origination (MSO) system
Brokers can now make all their new Buy to Let and residential applications to Accord in one place and having BTL on MSO means the lender can now accept top slicing, lending in Scotland, BTL new build and a wider range of BTL products and features.
Accords’ Mortgage Sales and Origination portal or MSO makes it quicker and easier for brokers to submit new cases. It cuts out a lot of those boring repetitive tasks like having to type the same information over and over again. It has a range of great features including DIP certificates, real-time case tracking and the ability to view and print offers and brokers can amend a case at any stage in the process.
Top Slicing – The flexibly for your client to use their income to top up a rental shortfall
Accord’s BTL rental calculator will help you work out the minimum rent required, and if there is a shortfall it’ll confirm if top slicing is available for your client and take you to their surplus income calculator.
