Custom development application allowing Help to Buy agencies manage and delivery equity loans for the government Help to Buy scheme. Built in .NET MVC, the automated application has processed over 50,000 applications to date.

Bespoke App Solution Brief

Spinbox were approached by 2 clients, Aldwyck Housing & BPHA, to develop a purpose-built Property Information Form (PIF) management system which provides Help to Buy agents with a single database for processing and managing Equity Loan applications.

They required time saving features to facilitate the workflow of applications, ensuring that the correct information is captured at the right time and that all necessary documentation is produced automatically at each stage of the Equity Loan application process.

The application was the first of its kind that allowed a team of 40 to manage applicant details and be processed for eligibility and connected information to property developers and conveyances and central government systems.
