TMA Club is urging advisers to start using digital tools that can help them keep on top of changes to their clients’ mortgage policies both during, and after, the Covid-19 outbreak.

This comes as data from CACI highlighted that there is a spike in product maturities worth £33.18bn expected in December 2020.

Lisa Martin, development director at TMA, said: “CACI’s research shows just how important it is for advisers to be keeping in touch with clients.

“The next couple of weeks will be a crucial time for the thousands of borrowers who are set to be impacted by December’s spike in product maturities – and now is the perfect time for advisers to showcase their value.

“By utilising technology, brokers will be better able to get in touch with clients who are set to be affected, offer their support and expertise – particularly to those who are uncertain of what to do next – and inform them of the options available.

“Embracing technology will put advisers in good stead for the future, helping them retain clients and gear up for a post-coronavirus market. This is why it is in a broker’s best interest to have the digital tools to hand to better support them in their conversations with customers over the long-run.”

TMA said using technology will better enable brokers to reach out to impacted customers and discuss their next steps.
