This range of services now available to UNIFi's members includes the provision of step-by-step and business development support; flexible packages to suit client’s needs; and access to a 24/7 real-time online case tracker providing ongoing updates.
UKMA has a particular focus on the US market and, with the pound recently reaching a 26-year high against the dollar, it believes there has never been a better time for UK investors looking to buy property in areas such as Florida.
The Floridian housing market at the moment provides a haven for UK buyers to purchase direct from developers at a negotiated discount price.
Plus, as well as the commission payment, UKMA is offering advisers the chance to win a luxury holiday for two in Central Orlando, Florida.
Patrick Bamford, managing director of UNIFi, commented: “Our aim with UNIFi is to improve member’s business efficiency and profitability by working closely with our partners and lenders to identify new opportunities, products and markets.
"UNIFI members will now be able to provide their clients looking for overseas property with a specialist service through UKMA. In what can be a complicated market UKMA can take on a referral at any stage of the buying process with only a name and contact details.
"Members can be certain that their client is being handled by professionals and will be receiving a first-class service while they will also gain the commission for the completion. We are delighted to be working with UKMA and looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship delivering real value to our members.”
UKMA offers sterling, dollar, Euro or multi-currency mortgages in the USA, Spain, France, the Caribbean, Bulgaria, Canada, Italy and Cyprus. It has access to overseas mortgages with a number of major lenders in the UK, Europe and the US. One of those lenders is GE Money which operates throughout Europe.
Amaury de Monclin, international mortgages leader at GE Money, said: “GE Money has experienced phenomenal growth in the market of international residential mortgages. International partnerships, like the one we have with UKMA, has been one of our key growth drivers.
"UKMA has demonstrated an ability to package and process applications in many markets and customers introduced to GE Money have always been highly satisfied.”
