"Whilst we can’t predict what will happen over the coming months, it always helps to be prepared by discussing the potential challenges facing the industry."

Talking as part of the latest Accord Growth Series podcast, Church said that brokers should take advantage of the reporting and provide practical and impartial guidance on navigating finances in uncertain times.

Church said: “When people see something negative they seek comfort. And when they look online and realise they can’t find the information as readily as they would want to, they need their mortgage broker to advise them.”

Jeremy Duncombe, director of intermediary distribution at Accord Mortgages, said: “Whilst we can’t predict what will happen over the coming months, it always helps to be prepared by discussing the potential challenges facing the industry.

“Brokers are busy people and our podcasts, which share the insight of key industry figures such as Shaun, are easy to listen to whilst on the road. We’re thrilled with the response to the series so far and have developed our 2019 content plan based on broker feedback to ensure we’re addressing the topics they want to know about.

“The Growth Series was launched to offer brokers materials to expand their businesses. In its first 12 months, content has included how to generate more leads online, using LinkedIn successfully, an online lead generator and a Buy to Let guide to understanding tax changes which brokers can download, brand as their own and send to clients if they wish.”
