Specialist Property Finance | Why Demand is Growing

Many mortgage advisers are looking for ways to expand their skill set, diversify their services and unlock new income opportunities.

Right now, specialist property finance is becoming an increasingly important part of the market. With volatile mortgage rates, a slower housing market and rising remortgage activity, more clients are turning to bridging, development and other specialist lending solutions.

At the same time, there’s a growing focus on professionalism and higher standards across the industry. Advisers who can demonstrate specialist knowledge have a clear opportunity to stand out in a competitive market and support a wider range of client needs.

Agenda

11:00 – Specialist finance market outlook
11:10 – Signals Report: key trends for advisers
11:30 – Building expertise in specialist property finance

Whether you’re looking to build on your CeMAP knowledge or explore your next career move, this session will give you a clear view of why now is the right time to diversify.
