Features of Affordability Brain

Affordability Brain has innovation at its core, eliminating the need to visit each lender's website and input information multiple times, making it a quick, accurate and easy solution to affordability sourcing.

Results from lenders include a breakdown of values across three areas for transparency and clarity:

Loan to Requested - amount requested likely to be affordable
Loan to Purchase - maximum based on property AND income
Loan to Income - Maximum based purely on income

Lenders available on Affordability Brain account for around 85% of mortgages sold in the UK and since its launch in May 2020, Affordability Brain has been used by intermediaries for searches totalling over £20bn.

Transforming mortgage sourcing

The roll out of Affordability Brain enables advisers to source products available, criteria and affordability using a single suite of solutions from Mortgage Brain - this provided free of charge to paid users of Criteria or Sourcing Brain.

Combine all three elements to best match a client's needs to products available and get a clear understanding of what each lender is willing to lend with the utmost clarity for your customers, in a single journey.

What our customers say:

"Today I had already sourced for a client as I knew the specific lender criteria on income types. However, I input the details on Affordability Hub to use the software as an experiment for the same client; if I had done this earlier in the day, I would've saved a lot of time, as the results confirmed my findings in just a few data input screens. This is without doubt, the best facility I have ever used."

Stuart Gardner, Sanderson Financial Ltd

"Brilliant! What a fantastic system, this will save hours per month and the report looks fantastic."
