NEW: SVR impact calculator

For many borrowers, the amount they can borrow is a key priority. But do they realise that the product they choose can impact the amount they can borrow?  

Perenna’s fixed for life products don’t have an SVR or ‘revert’ rate that most short-term products have (and therefore no SVR based stress test)! This means we can unlock higher borrowing amounts for those who need it, whilst giving the flexibility of a short ERC period of 5 years.  

If maximising borrowing power is important to your client, we have a new tool that can help bring this to life. You can now easily see how a Perenna product compares with short-term fixed rate products. Why not give it a try today?

Recap of Perenna Live: Insights into lending criteria for brokers

Discover the latest from Perenna! Over 100 brokers recently joined our webinar led by Graham, Intermediary Support Manager, and Tim, National Account Manager. They highlighted essential lending insights that you won’t want to miss. 

Graham kicked off the session by exploring our long-term fixed rate proposition with short ERCs, and how this is a great addition to the UK market offering stability with flexibility.   

Tim explained in depth our recent enhancements to lending policy for non-UK nationals, as well as some of our new build products helping more first-time buyers onto the housing ladder.  

They both used case studies to bring the policy to life, with examples ranging from first time buyers, through to borrowers remortgaging, or lending into retirement – covering the full range of customers Perenna aims to serve. 

Perenna provide fixed-rate mortgages for the long term, which keep payments stable throughout the loan period with decreasing Early Repayment Charges (ERCs) over the first 5 years. 

Perenna shows commitment to inclusivity for older borrowers by offering mortgage products designed with no maximum age limits.

The webinar provided brokers with an overview of Perenna’s range, which includes high LTV options, support for self-employed applicants, and updated policies for foreign nationals and new build properties. For more information about Perenna’s lending criteria, please visit our website. 

During the Q&A session, Tim and Graham addressed numerous broker questions, highlighting strong interest in Perenna’s offerings and policies. Topics ranged from offer extensions to non-standard properties and specific case scenarios.  

Graham ended by emphasising how important the relationship between lender and intermediary is to Perenna, and how working together can help us to deliver better customer outcomes.

With our long-term fixed rate mortgages, they can secure their finances and focus on what truly matters – living their life. 

The mortgage revolution to set your clients free 

Imagine your clients knowing exactly what they’ll pay each month, without the fear of rising rates. Our long-term fixed rate mortgage offers this certainty, so your clients can plan those big life moments with confidence. 

Forget the mortgage and focus on building a life 

Our fixed rate mortgage provides the stability needed to concentrate on what’s important. With Perenna, your clients can defend their right to build a life without the stress of fluctuating mortgage payments. 

Age is but a number

Introducing Deposit Unlock

We are thrilled to announce that Perenna has joined Deposit Unlock, a groundbreaking scheme designed to revolutionise accessibility to new build home financing for first-time buyers or those moving home. 

Developed in close collaboration with lenders and the home-building industry, Deposit Unlock empowers prospective buyers to secure their dream new build home with just a 5% deposit. 

Key highlights for homebuyers… 

  • Accessible New Build purchases: With Deposit Unlock, buyers can secure a new build home with only a 5% deposit, while the participating builder covers a significant portion. For example, if the builder contributes 4%, the buyer only needs to find 1%, making homeownership more attainable than ever before. 
  • Flexible deposit solutions: Recognising the challenges of saving for a deposit, Deposit Unlock offers flexibility in deposit sourcing. Buyers can contribute their own 5% deposit, utilise cash incentives from the developer, or opt for a combination, significantly reducing the upfront financial burden. 
  • Enhanced affordability: By reducing the deposit requirement, Deposit Unlock opens doors to homeownership for first-time buyers and those looking to move home, making new build dreams achievable for a wider audience. 
  • Exclusive mortgage benefits: In addition to the 5% deposit option, Deposit Unlock mortgages provide access to exclusive benefits, including increased borrowing power, stable monthly payments, and flexible early repayment terms. 

Deposit Unlock mortgages are available exclusively through independent mortgage brokers. Buyers can receive personalised guidance and explore their mortgage options by connecting with a broker today.
