We are investigating the possibility of offering employees support around mortgages and house buying as an additional benefit.
If anyone currently does this, e.g. mortgage support / contributions etc, and are able to share insight on how they have gone about this and its success, that would be appreciated.
We don't do it our self. I wanted to look at those who wished to opt out of the pension could go into a mortgage pot, but that is deemed as coercing them away from auto enrollment.
Goodman Masson do a contribution to mortgages http://behindthewalls.co.uk/the-benefits-boutique/
We use Radcliffe and Newlands who give employees free advice and run seminars for first time buyers, remortagers etc every 6 months for us. We also use Canopy to assist employees in the rental market. Both are cost free to us but appreciated by employees!
We use Charles Cameron & Associates - we arrange for an advisor to come into the office on a monthly basis / quarterly for smaller office and employees can book a slot in advance or arrange a video call if they prefer (this is great for our remote workers).
We provide information for a Mortgage broker who comes into the office when requested and can run workshops and arrangement appointments with employees. There are a lot of brokerage companies out there that are happy to do this.
