In the latest development to provide homehunters with a one stop property shop, Yell.com has launched Home Finance, in association with CharcolOnline. Homebuyers can now log on to the property channel of Yell.com and select a mortgage from a choice of over 450 offered by more than 45 lenders, including the UK’s top ten.

The search for a mortgage is supported by valuable information about the different types of mortgages available, along with a glossary and FAQ’s. Mortgage calculators are provided for home buyers to see how much they can borrow and how much it will cost them in monthly repayments. Once an application has been received online, it is passed to a dedicated in-house Customer Service Advisor (CSA) at CharcolOnline. The CSA will be the customer’s single point of contact throughout the mortgage process and will deal with the solicitor, surveyor, estate agent and lender on the customer’s behalf.

John Condron, CEO for Yell, said: "The distribution agreement with CharcolOnline, a fully regulated and totally independent mortgage broker, furthers our goal to become a true one stop shop for home buying.

By clicking on to the property channel of Yell.com, home buyers can now check out a location, find a property, select an estate agent, choose the right mortgage, pick a removal firm, notify businesses of a change of address and gain advice on locating a professional to make home improvements. By bringing all this information together in one place, Yell.com is enabling home buyers to make informed decisions about almost every aspect of their purchase.

Toby Strauss, Managing Director of CharcolOnline, added: "We are delighted to be teaming up with Yell.com to offer users access to a wealth of mortgage tools and information, plus the ability to track down and apply for a home-loan online. This is a clear example of two successful e-businesses coming together to offer an enhanced complementary service".
