Manooch Suree, from Zinga Financial Services, says:
Our customer was self-employed and the business had suffered during Covid. A historic financial mishap also made the case more difficult to place, but Pepper Money was able to base affordability on the most recent year’s accounts and accept customers with less than perfect credit history. They took a logical, customer-centric approach and worked at speed to get the deal done. The underwriter on the case was very helpful and always called us following an email to explain the requirements and why they were being asked.

Ryan Brailsford, Director of Business Development at Pepper Money, says:
Covid impacted many businesses and, with some lenders, a drop in income over the last three years can make it difficult to get a mortgage. But at Pepper Money, we can base affordability on the latest year’s accounts for self-employed customers and, with our considered approach to adverse credit, we were able to help these Almost Primers into their new home. We worked in collaboration with Manooch and the team at Zinga Financial Services to make sure an offer was issued quickly, and the case completed smoothly. When it comes to customers who don’t fit high street criteria, Pepper Money should be a broker’s first call.
