Why choose BuildLoan for self build clients.

As a mortgage brokers you play a crucial role in helping your clients find the right financial solutions for their unique needs.

When it comes to self build, renovation, conversion or complex construction projects, traditional mortgage products fall short, leaving your clients without the support they need to achieve their goals.

This is where BuildLoan excels. With a dedicated broker desk, specialist products, expert support, and an innovative research platform UNICUS, BuildLoan empowers you to deliver tailored, client-focused solutions that align with Consumer Duty obligations. By partnering with BuildLoan, you can confidently meet the unique challenges of construction financing while ensuring positive outcomes for your clients.

1. Guaranteed Stage Payments:
A Game-Changer for Construction Finance

One of the standout features of BuildLoan’s products is their guaranteed stage payment structure, which addresses the financial challenges often faced during construction projects:

  • Stage Payments in Advance: Funds are released at the beginning of each construction stage, ensuring your clients have the cash flow to purchase materials and pay contractors without delays.
  • Stage Payments in Arrears: Funds are released after each stage is completed on a guaranteed basis, offering an alternative for clients who prefer to work on a post-completion basis.

These guaranteed stage payment options are pre-agreed, providing clients with the confidence that funding will be available when they need it. This level of predictability mitigates financial risks, supports project continuity, and ensures your clients can complete their projects on time and within budget.

 

2. The Power of UNICUS: BuildLoan’s Research Platform

With mortgage sourcing systems simply not providing the level of detail required to source a stage payment mortgage, BuildLoan’s innovative mortgage research platform, UNICUS is a game-changer when you are advising on construction projects.

  • Effective Fact Finding: The fact finding element of the platform will ensure you can gather the required information to allow for an accurate lender and product match for your clients’ project.
