Connect Overseas has added a full package of support in order that any intermediary can become knowledgeable in overseas mortgages, either as a stand alone business or as a supplement to existing business streams.

This follows the firm’s recent launch of its sourcing software for foreign mortgages.

Connect Overseas Pro is the sourcing tool helping brokers to advise, quote and apply for mortgages on behalf of their clients in over 50 different countries around the world.

Geoff Simmonds, head of operations at Connect Overseas, said the launch of the new sourcing system has prompted demand from brokers for more help in developing their knowledge in the overseas mortgage market.

He added: “We have been delighted at the response from brokers who have signed up for the Connect Overseas Pro software. Their feedback has been unanimous in asking us to help them develop a greater knowledge base of the overseas market.

“We are meeting that demand with locally based training courses which will be announced soon as well as a suite of marketing support including bespoke websites and promotional material.”
