Recap of Perenna Live: Why our 5-year fix is different

The session focused on one key question – How do you give clients certainty without locking them in? 

The webinar addressed common broker challenges, such as: 

  • Positioning medium-term fixes 
  • Simplifying advice conversations 
  • Maintaining flexibility for clients 

Janet and Graham shared live case examples showing how the 5-year fix supports clients who want: 

  • Payment certainty 
  • Flexibility if circumstances change 
  • An alternative to short- or long-term commitments 

During the q&a, brokers also asked practical questions about: 

  • Early repayment charges 
  • Overpayments 
  • Affordability 
  • Foreign national criteria 

Each point was answered clearly, with practical guidance brokers could use straight away. 

Feedback was positive, with attendees praising Graham and Janet for their practical, case-focused approach.

MAB Conference 2025 round up and reflections

You may have spotted it on our socials – on 27th November, our team joined advisers, business owners, and introducers at the ICC in Birmingham to celebrate 25 years of Mortgage Advice Bureau at the MAB Conference. 

It was a busy day full of insight, learning, and conversations about the future of mortgage advice. 

Advisers visited stands, caught up with lenders and providers, and joined quick seminars on the trends set to shape the intermediary market in 2025. 

Our team spent the day with advisers, showing how Perenna’s 7–15 year fixed-rate mortgages give clients certainty and flexibility. Long-term stability is still a top priority for brokers and their clients. 

Our branded giveaways were a hit, with stress balls and playing cards flying off the stand first – proving that a little fun goes a long way in starting conversations! 

And then there was our balloon walkaround. It didn’t just turn heads – it got people talking! It was the perfect way to spark conversations and showcase Perenna’s bold presence across the venue (watch this space on LinkedIn for more highlights)! 

John Davison, Head of Product, Proposition & Distribution, said: “It was a great chance to reconnect with advisers and see how our long-term fixed solutions can support their clients. The demand for certainty and flexibility has never been higher.” 

Our three key takeaways 

  1. 1. Certainty is top of mind
    Brokers are seeing clients demand long-term stability. Solutions like Perenna’s 7–15 year fixed rates help clients reduce risk and plan with confidence, giving you a clear value proposition to highlight. 
  2. 2. Innovation drives the market
    Advisers are embracing flexible products and fresh advice models. Staying ahead with innovative solutions can help you stand out and better meet client needs. 
  3. 3. Partnerships matter
    Face-to-face conversations proved the power of collaboration. Strong relationships with lenders and providers make your advice more relevant, and your clients’ outcomes stronger. 

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, shared feedback or took the time to learn more about Perenna’s products. 

If we didn’t get a chance to catch up with you on the day, we would still love to speak with you! Find out how Perenna’s long-term fixed-rate mortgages can help you support clients: Contact Us | Perenna Brokers

Helping Skilled workers access high-LTV mortgages

Around 150,000 people come to the UK each year on a Skilled Worker visa*. Many of these are Health and Care professionals supporting the NHS. 

For these workers, buying a home in the UK can be challenging. Some high street lenders ask for deposits of up to 25% if applicants do not have Permanent Rights to Reside. 

How Perenna helps? 

We offer lending of up to 95% LTV and 6× LTI for Skilled Worker applicants who meet our criteria. Joint applications are also accepted if the Skilled Worker meets the £50,000 minimum income. 

To qualify, applicants must meet the following criteria: 

  • A minimum annual income of £50,000 for the visa holder. 
  • A minimum residency in the UK of 18 months, with at least 12 months remaining on their visa. 

At Perenna, we are proud to support Skilled Workers with solutions that make homeownership possible, even in a challenging market. 

Our high-LTV lending options give brokers the tools to help clients achieve their goals with confidence and stability.
