SFI LIVE launched on 18th September with an initial webinar special focussing on self and custom build.

Two members of the team from Saffron for Intermediaries, Tony Hall (Interim Head of Mortgage Sales) and Holly Andrews (BDM Team Leader) were on the panel to discuss self-build projects, mortgage arrangements, discussing the focus by the government on custom build homes and providing an insight into the society’s decision to keep all management of self-build projects in house.
