  2. Just a quick request, would it be possible to update Smartr in the next release so that we can add more than two people on the fact find.
    With affordability being a big issue, now more and more mortgages have three of four applicants now. Currently I must add the third and fourth applicant’s details in the notes section.

  3. The current budget planner is not comprehensive enough to gain an accurate picture of a clients spending. This forces us to group various expenditures leading to confusion when transposing to affordability platforms and applications.

    As an example, could this not mirror the commitment options within Affordability Brain?

  4. The downloadable fact find contains lots of sections that may be important to one firm, and irrelevant to the next. This means the document is too long. Please could the download PDF version have the options to not include sections like you have implemented for the client version of the fact find?

  6. Expenditure to be more broken down more details (same as lenders) and should also cover things like if i have added in a existing life cover this should push into the expenditure as they have said i have this policy and am paying a premium on this. Same with if I have 3 BTL properties i get the choice to add this into my clients expenditure and this also doesn't show on the figure only in the key and net amount.

  9. The system only has one buyer type per case, whereas a FTB might be buying a property jointly with someone who is not a FTB. Lenders ask the question for each applicant.
    Also, a purchase assumes that the applicants have an existing mortgage. That is not always the case and this causes wrong information to be provided to lenders. This has resulted in me having to re-key an application.

  12. Why are student loans keyed on the credit commitments section dedicated from the net pay in the Disposable Income Monthly income? These are already reflected in the net pay. Its important to have this section and I quite like it as part of the commitmentss as this is where most lends ask for it but please could it be disconected from the disposable income?

    While your at it, there are 3 different sections for student loans on the Fact find. Please could these be either cleaned up on connected so you are not keying the same information utiple times (the…

  16. Can we set up automated email chasers for clients to complete the Fact Find? In my opinion, these should be sent every 24 hours until the Fact Find has been completed.

  20. There should be a prompt/warning when your recommended mortgage term is beyond the anticipated retirement age (Smartr has the client current age, anticipated retirement age in the factfind so should recognise that a 40 year old with a retirement age of 70 but a mortgage term of 35 years recommended is term into retirement)
