Online quoting tool Broker View offers introducers accurate and fully costed quotes for their clients in minutes and had previously only been available on a limited access basis.

The Midlands-based specialist bridging lender is now making Broker View available to all brokers and is offering the system via a direct download to go on brokers’ desktops.

The system takes around 12 questions and uses the information to offer the broker a quote tailored to the customer with the capacity to adjust the product type, term and in-hand amount as required.

“We opted for this number of questions as it seemed to be the minimum needed to get an initial quote with a high level of accuracy,” said Ed Ahrens, managing director at Aspen (pictured above).

The system also includes accurate valuation and legal fees and offers users access to a suite of commercial and residential bridging products.

In addition, Aspen revealed that enquiry levels were up 102% by volume in H1 2018 compared with H2 2017.

The lender attributed this success partly to its 80% LTV product, but also its spring offer product card, which offers rates of 0.59-0.69% pcm across all LTVs.

As a result of the positive feedback for its spring offer, Aspen has decided to permanently adopt this rate card.

“Brokers need lenders with the full package to secure deals,” said Jack Coombs, director at Aspen.

“Getting competitive LTVs, rates and rapid service is the only option, so we at Aspen have decided to permanently adopt our lower rate spring offer.”
