See your mortgage in Monzo šŸ  [Mortgage Referrals pilot live šŸš€]

This is great - I really like the breakdown.

I’d love for the ability to manually add a % or Ā£ for who else has equity in my property (first home fund/help to buy eg) as the equity isn’t actually true for me once I take into consideration the government’s portion.

I bet that’d be a nightmare to automate as it’s so varied, so a manual entry would be great!

So my mortgage is split in two and on two different rates and end dates (due to a mortgage port), are there plans to allow me to combine both of these on the app? It is showing a different LTV for each part (which is expected but not desired).

Your new mortgage (assuming your lender isn’t doing anything unusual) should see the monthly payments change and ā€œswap inā€! I’m anticipating that you’ll need to re-estimate interest rate or provide an updated one yourself.

As it stands we don’t have any alerting logic visible to you to flag that we think the deal has changed - that’s partly because our estimate of your interest rate can vary a little each month

Ah yes - I remember your case of Coventry Building Society! We’re looking to gather the information at the moment to see how common this scenario is - given that most records get merged together (both frustrating but in different ways).

If we see it impacting a reasonable proportion then we’ll certainly try to find a way to tackle - this new view of property equity finally gives us a framework to think the holistic picture :slight_smile:

Out of interest - how was the property value estimation?

Cheers, I appreciate that it is a rather unique scenario, as splitting them helps me track the rates and when they end, but the LTV is inaccurate. I guess I can’t have it all!

My estimation was £20k less than what Zoopla and the Coventy estimated it at (last valued in April for a remortgage).

I amended the suggested property value earlier. Now, whilst I can go and edit the value again, there seems to be no way to revert back to the originally suggested estimate.

The easiest way right now is to tap the 3 dots and remove the property entirely and set it up again :slight_smile:

I think as we evolve to supporting semi-regular updates then reverting to our estimated value feels like something we’d want to add in. As I’m asking everyone - what did you make of the Ā£ value we offered up?

The Monzo valuation was about £15,000 lower than my current and upcoming mortgage provider valued the place at.

It wasn’t quite right, due to renovations which I know aren’t something that’s supported. Otherwise, it was pretty much spot on.

I would also like to be able to alter the value to the original estimate - what I would like to know is if that estimate would cross an LTV breakpoint. Could the app show the values for the different breakpoints once the amount is set?

Overall, this feature is great, the onboarding was fantastic and all the text very clear. Great work!

Monzo gave a value for my address at the lowest of the, for comparison, Zoopla valuation range which is not bad. But we have had several improvements in the last 2 years which realistically puts it in the middle of the Zoopla range*, which is £25K more than the Monzo figure.

Out of curiosity, I don’t have the ā€˜Edit image’ or ā€˜Learn more’ selections in the 3-dot-options (Android v5.43.0)

Mine looks pretty much in the right ballpark

I don’t see those options though…

Same but split in 3! :laughing:

I know Help to buy was not included in this, but would there be an option to add this data in, even if it’s manual in the near future? I am on a help to buy and my 5 years is coming up in 2024 summer and this feature is great to know the ideal amount I could put the flat on sale for example

All in good time folks! It should be with you in the 5.44 release or thereabouts :crossed_fingers:

Love this.
I am shared ownership so only have a % of the property but the price estimate appears to have picked this up and based the value on my share.
Well that or house has dropped 50% in the last 8 years

This is excellent and definitely a nice change from seeing lots of minus figures. Great work :sunglasses:

Hey! Long time coming but I finally have an updated mortgage balance/monthly payment and it’s wrong :sob:.

It’s showing 1047 but my monthly repayment is actually 997. It’s taken the first two payments into account but not the third and am about to make a fourth (slow reporting I know).

I guess this is due to the first month where I had to pay off a product fee and it should fix itself eventually?
