More than 650 brokers say Yes!

Conti says interest in overseas mortgages at the recent All New Mortgage Brain national launch has been overwhelming, with more than 650 brokers attending the events around the country. Since the road show Conti has seen a marked increase in the level of enquiries for both mortgages and its latest new development - Conti Property - a brand new shop window of dream homes overseas that brokers can market to their clients.

Clare Nessling, Conti's operations director, says: "The response to our presentation on the overseas market and preview of Conti Property was tremendous at each event. From Edinburgh to Cardiff, South Wales, brokers have been waking up to the benefits of this valuable new source of revenue and seizing the unique opportunity Conti Property offers to earn fantastic commission without actually selling anything!

"Despite the UK property slump, the overseas property market is alive and well for British investors, and there's a growing feeling of confidence among buyers, who've been snapping up houses at bargain basement prices, particularly in Spain, as well as a steady stream fulfilling their lifetime dream of buying in France. As the summer season approaches we expect to see a rise in mortgage enquiries from buyers serious about making a purchase, and combining their holidays with inspection trips. Now really is a good time for brokers to consider overseas mortgages as a new source of potential income."

Making it even easier for intermediaries to get involved, Conti's online sales toolkit offers ready-made sales letters, brochures, newsletters, top tips and a free weblink - providing everything they need to generate overseas mortgage sales from their existing client base. It costs nothing and means they can promote this service with minimal outlay from their own business.
