Smartr365 has expanded its integration with Paymentshield to include buy-to-let (BTL) and landlord insurance, streamlining the process for advisers. This enhancement allows advisers to generate insurance quotes directly from existing mortgage or protection cases, significantly improving efficiency in the mortgage market.
How Does This Integration Work?
With the new update, advisers using Smartr365 can quote, compare, and refer landlords for insurance directly from the platform. By pulling applicant, property, and portfolio data through Smartr365’s fact find, the need for rekeying information is eliminated. This reduces the risk of losing cases and allows advisers to present indicative premiums and cover options to clients during their sessions.
Why Is This Change Significant for the Mortgage Market?
The mortgage market is evolving, and the integration of landlord insurance into the Smartr365 platform reflects the growing demand for comprehensive services. BTL and portfolio landlord business is one of the fastest-growing areas for advisers, yet landlord insurance has traditionally been a separate process. This integration addresses that gap, making it easier for advisers to manage their clients’ needs in one place.
What This Means for Landlords and Advisers
For landlords, this integration simplifies the insurance process, allowing them to receive quotes and complete their insurance applications alongside their mortgage arrangements. Advisers benefit from a more streamlined workflow, reducing clicks and administrative burdens. As a result, advisers can focus more on client interactions rather than administrative tasks, ultimately improving service delivery.
