Legal & General Home Finance has updated its software links with the Advise Wise platform, which it says allows advisers to smoothly manage lifetime mortgage applications through its portal.    

The financial services group’s later life unit says its new application programming interface links will enable different pieces of software to share information in real-time, allowing brokers to carry out due diligence research with greater speed.  

The partnership allows brokers to search for interest roll up and optional payment lifetime mortgage products, through a range of research filters designed to meet individual customer needs.   

The platform also enables advisers to request multiple key facts illustrations across the lender’s products.  

It follows earlier similar links with software provider Iress and later life lending platform Air Sourcing.  

Legal & General Home Finance distribution director David G Jones says: “Our seamless application programming interface link with Advise Wise is one of several innovations we’ve recently introduced to help advisers effectively support their clients.   

“Lifetime mortgages play a significant role in long-term planning, and we are constantly working to make our products more accessible to advisers. As the market evolves, alongside new technologies, we aim to create more links on adviser sourcing sites.”  

Advise Wise head of product and development Benjamin Wells adds: “This enhancement on the Advise Wise platform represents a further significant step forward in providing advisers with the tools they need to deliver exceptional service to their clients efficiently.”
