Lending Losses in New Build
•
Fraud
•
Inflated prices driven by excessive cash incentives
•
Introducer payments
•
Cavalier lending processes and underwriting
13
Credit & Risk is backward looking
14
The case for the defence
•
Transparency that exceeds CML requirements driven by a cultural shift
•
The ability to provide a controlled distribution strategy
•
Shift in underwriting and credit scoring means that the past is not necessarily a guide to the future
•
New Homes can help to reinvigorate the market for First Time Buyers
