Why we believe 'Next Chapter Lending' is becoming central to the future of home ownership

The learning objectives for this article are to:

  • Why advisers should consider a customer's entire financial journey rather than simply their age at the end of the mortgage term.
  • How lenders can support responsible lending by assessing future affordability through evidence based underwriting rather than historic assumptions.
