The purpose of the loan for Andrew and Jane Bisset is to acquire a 3000 square metre land for the expansion of their business stock. The land is located near their shopping centre and therefore in order to increase the value of their business stock they intend to purchase the property. However the land is currently declared by the government as ‘Special Purpose’ but in the recent town planning scheme announced, the government allowed the land to be used for commercial purpose. They consider this as an opportunity for their business growth since they are planning to develop another shopping centre on such land.

Risk Assessment and Management

The procurement of mortgage loan from the lender for purchase of vacant land at Belmont there are some risk factors attached. These risk factors relate to the availability of the government land and the rate of interest. The risk attached to the loan process is explained as follows:

1.The rate of interest for a commercial loan is 7% per annum whereas the rate of interest for bank overdraft is 9% per annum. The procurement of loan with the; lender will comprise of the risk relating to the fixed and fluctuating rates of interest attached with the repayment of loan.

2.The vacant land to be purchased from the loan amount is special purpose zoned land which was previously held by State Government as State Government Health and Dental Clinic. However the local council declared the land to be commercial in its town planning scheme but the rezoning will still need 1-2 years. Thus the availability of the vacant land for commercial use is not ensured.

3.Another risk factor is the market value of the shopping centre. The valuation of the shopping centre was made 2 years ago and the present market valuation of the shopping centre will determine the servicing capacity of the shopping centre for the loan.

Assignment 3:

Question 1:

1.Information to be gathered: The loan process includes a number of personal information which can be shared only by establishing a fiduciary relationship with the client. The client intend to procure loan and therefore the information to be gathered will include the information like reasons for acquiring a loan, professional life and salary package, wealth, personal life and information about close ones etc. These are information is critical for evaluation of loan processing system.

2.Listening and questioning: The information will be obtained from the client by designing the questions in relation to the loan details and obtaining the responses from the client. Face to face meetings, telephonic conversations will be employed.

3.Use of appropriate language: It is quite important that a broker maintains a good relationship with the client and must use significant linguistic so as to allow development of effective relationship (Matkovic, et. al., 2013).

4.Use of interpersonal skills for emotional issues: Development of fiduciary bond allows the client to communicate personal and professional communication. Thus, skills like soft communication, honest and transparent working etc.   

5.Establish rapport: The development of the bond between client and broker can be made through eliminating cultural, linguistic, color or any other kind of barrier as done by the broker with Andrew and Jane Bisset so as to build a stronger relationship for sooth sharing of personal information.

6.Professionalism: The professional behaviour includes use of soft skills/ interpersonal skills, abide of code of conduct.

7.Communication skills: Communication skills must be clear, familiar linguistic, clarity in ideas, use of both written and oral skill are used, content follow up of communication process. There are number of communication instances such as: a client is eager to know about the benefits of the loan process, requisites to be fulfilled etc. and on the other hand, the broker is curious to know about the personal and professional information about the client (Matkovic, et. al., 2013). There must be two ways communication process (in case of limitation of languages sign language and postures can be used).

8.Contact with the client throughout the complex process: Brokerage service is indeed a complicated process which is majorly based on fiduciary and trust. For keeping contact with the client throughout the process are cellular, emails, meetings (Matkovic, et. al., 2013).

Question 2:

According to Root, (2014), Brokerage services and relationships are based on each other honesty and trust yet it becomes complicated at several times. Therefore, it is always better to record conversations as evidence for eliminating any possible future conflicts.

1.Templates to be used: There are innumerable measures which can be used for recording conversations such as templates, diarising, documentation, technology things, specialist software etc. Brokers will use pre-printed templates for recording personal and desired information of each client with specified questions. This information is used in future at the different time interval and these do not lead to any form of conflicts (Latimer, and Maume, 2015).

2.Diarising or recording: Documentation of things is the most simple and convenient way of recording conversation.

3.Procedure that is implemented for critical implementation: The first priority is to gather information and make ensure the best suitable loan process for the requirement. 

4.Documentation gathered: various documents which must be gathered are tax returns, loan application doc, ID’s and personal information, etc. 

5.Technology used: Technology or so to say computers and internet have become the most common way of recording information. There are various specialist software’s which can be formulated in a manner to record information associated with the loan processing mechanism. These can also be sent to client’s email for their record as well. Computers have high storage memory and thus can keep records for longer duration and can be accessed at any point in time. Microsoft Excel and spreadsheets are another easiest and simple method for recording a minute or detailed client information and can also be shared as and when requires. These recordings are also approved during any litigation or in front of legislation authorities. Thus, these can be used as proof or evidence at those points (Latimer, and Maume, 2015).

6.Access of specialist templates and special software: Through use of computers and internet, the specialist software’s are used. 

7.Documentation of recommendations and loan structures: Brokers will also formulate pre-printed documents which contain detailed information varied loan structure and loan guidelines. They also formulate recommendations and suggestions documents which are highly useful for clients who look for a loan. The major information contained in these documents relates current available loan and their types, the basic requirements to be fulfilled for acquisition such loans, current interest rates to be applied and instalment calculation for repayment of loans and also contains penalties or damages to be faced in case of default of such loans (Latimer, and Maume, 2015).

Question 3:

1.Assessment of complex features of client’s: In the loan processing systems, every individual client has different need from each other. Since every individual’s social, economic, and cultural and other values are different from each other, therefore, their requisition for loans is also different from each other. Being a broker, it is extremely vital to evaluate the exact position of each individual client and to formulate beneficial loan structure for that particular individual (Briscoeand Rogan, 2015). Therefore the needs of the clients will be identified and evaluated in order to plan the loan procurement and settlement procedures.

2.Analysis of client situation for opportunities and constraints: Thorough financial information of the client’s provides vital information to judge the financial opportunities and constraint for the client.

3.Research for loan structure: there are different loan structures such as cumulative interest structure, fixed or flexible loan structure etc. in accordance with the individual’s requirement and information.      

4.Consideration of financial issues: The major criteria where individuals differ are financial domain. In financial domain, clients look in for interest rates (fixed or floating), repayments installment, loan period, loan terms and conditions, the requirement of mortgages, wealth and status requirement etc. Different people like a businessman, students, professional persons, working people etc. require their loan structure to be formulated in accordance with the social and economic position (Briscoeand Rogan, 2015).

5.Reference to tier one advisor: Loan amount and interest repayment are also highly influenced by income taxation legislation. A broker requires taxation advice for further advising their clients over deductions, rebates, tax relaxation for the loan type that had asked for. A taxation consultant can share information about the tax benefits associated with the taxation (Briscoeand Rogan, 2015).

6.Analyses of possible loan structures: A client’s possible loan structure is formulated by analyzingthe client’s creditworthiness and his financial statements. After analyzing all the required/ necessitated documents (such as bank statements, tax returns, investments and its documents, financial package and such others), possible loan structures are modeledfor those particular individuals. A loan might also get rejected on the inability of the client to repay the loan installments or at the low creditworthiness of the individual.

7.Check for compliances with the acts: The loan processing mechanism is also adhering to varied relevant acts. Non-compliance with duchy acts leads to rejection of loan. The acts like National consumer credit protection act 2009, National credit act, Australia etc. must be complied with while processing loans (Griffith-Jones, and Rodriguez, 2016).

8.Assessment of achievement of client’s objective:Once, an individual loan file is accepted (on the basis of their creditworthiness and client objective), the person is granted loan and signs all the necessary documents with the banks (Briscoeand Rogan, 2015).

9.Sharing of information: The information with the clients are shared in both ways i.e. in written method and oral method. 

Question 4:

Risk evaluation: In the loan processing mechanism, there is high-risk factor which is associated with the client (borrower). There are various risk factors such as credit risk, processing risk etc. Credit risk implies default in making repayments of the loan amount and interest. This is a highly prioritized risk. Thereby, a lender looks for mainly three things visualize security (assets), ability to repay the loan amount, and ascertainment of another risk which are already taken. Thus, mainly a lender checks the creditworthiness of an individual before assisting with any form of a loan (Boahene, et. al., 2012).

Risk assessment tools: Lenders will use various risk assessment tools in order to deal with the risks and complex client requirements such as serviceability tools, loan payment calculator tool which determines the figures (for loans) and thus, makes valuation for repayments. Broker will carefully make valuation of the loan amount otherwise wrong valuation might lead to wrong decision.

Communication: The broker will communicate to prevent all the possible risks attracted in the loan documentation process (Boahene, et. al., 2012).

Discussion on adverse issues: A borrower must be well informed of the credit risk which mightlead to rejection of the loan.

Establishment of probable risk factors: The factors such as security required in terms of loan amount required, repayment capacity, and risk assessment etc. must be calculated and communicated to the borrower. Proper communication aids in pre-understanding for applying or non-applying of the loan (Boahene, et. al., 2012).

Identification of stakeholders: the key stakeholders in a loan a process are broker, financial intermediary, clients and bank’s person. These people reviews are taken timely to identify measures and issues. 

Follow up of all the industry and government requirements: Industry and government form anumber of legislations for loan processing systems so as to ensure that there is relevant disbursement of loans amount. Therefore, while formulating loan processing system, there must be constant review of the government latest updating about loan processing and must be applied and communicated to the client. A broker must be applied the code of conducts such as honesty, integrity, compliance with laws, maintenance of confidential information etc. Interpretation of the information: These must be communicated through written documentation with the clients and through good reputation in the market (Reinl, and Kelliher, 2015).  

Question 5:

Impact of loan: As a broker, I will present all the possible loan options and structures to their clients. After considering all the required professional and personal documents of the client, a broker formulates different loan structure for its clients. The loan structure differs in terms of interest rate, installment amount, loan amount, loan period, tax relaxation or deductions, commission/ brokerage charges etc. A client has full right to access the different structures in their judgment and consult with their brokers with the most suitable loan option. The broker must also communicate with the pros and cons associated with each loan structure and provide honest and fair suggestions which have thehighest possibility of sanctioning (in terms of banking rules and policies) (Poser, 2015).

The pros of getting a loan include getting a big monetary amount which is otherwise not possible for an individual, an individual can instantly fulfill its objective as mentioned in the loan document, and there are easy installments which can be repaid at regular intervals. On contrary, the cons include rise of fixed obligation which has to be paid irrespective of cash flows, an interest amount also has to be paid which would not have risen (of loan has not be taken) thus, further increase financial obligations, usually loans are for long-term period thus, including high amount of credit risk, reputation risk, unpredictable etc. (Poser, 2015).

Fees and charges: The commission charges certain percentage such as 2%, 5% through draft, bank cheque etc. these must be discussed eagerly. 

Explanation in terms of legislations and requisites: The client must further be guided by the legislation associated in case of default in repayment of interest/ installment amount, the damages which can get associated or even withpenalization.There must also proper advisory from financial planners and values. Financial planners communicate about the possible economic fluctuations and the possible situations about figuring loan amount, repayment installments, interest rates (fixed or floating) or interest amount. The information aid the client to assess the possible futuristic outcomes that might arise and allow them to choose among the different loan structure options (Poser, 2015).

Research and documentation: Lastly, it is holy important to inquire from the client regarding any issues with the loan options or non-understanding about the proposal. Any issues must be communicated and resolved either in written manner or orally. The client must also be well informed about the complaint resolution procedure. There is banking ombudsman who looks into financial matters.

Consultation with other professionals: From the point of taxation and other advantages, communication with the taxation analysts must be taken place.  

Confirmation of client: there must be well communication meetings with the client which declares about the confirmation of the document or contract.

Compliance resolution procedure: Internally, the matter can be resolved by Australia information commissioner who considers complaints based on evidence and provides effective remedies to the customer. Proper information about complaint resolution must be exchanged with the client.

Question 6:

Research and documentation materials:  While providing brokerage services, it is important to be well prepared for the various concerns that might arise while dealing with the clients. Clients have varied queries such as information of creditworthiness, loan documents, and mortgage requirements and its terms and conditions, computation of commission/ brokerage fees, current interest rates and computation of interest rates, taxation requirements and rebates etc. (Barth, et. al., 2013). Therefore, it is important to make research and prepare documents for the sake of customer knowledge and also to make compliances with relevant legislations as applicable.

Alternative recommendations: As a broker I will formulate documents which contains general alternative recommendations for different types of loans or for any general query, research materials about loan facilitation, different publications as published by financial institutions guidelines and regulation limits as set at different intervals (Barth, et. al., 2013).
