Positioning for the Next Phase of the Market

Our next forum, hosted by Barclays Commercial, will focus on the commercial property, real estate finance and economic trends shaping the market ahead.

Barclays Commercial will lead the discussion with insight into the economic conditions influencing business, investor and property finance decisions, alongside a deeper look at the commercial real estate trends impacting lender appetite, client demand and market direction. 

Kevin will then explore the potential impact of Basel 3 in greater detail, including how changing capital requirements may influence lender pricing, appetite and product availability across different lending sectors. Kevin will also provide an update on Asset Finance and the opportunities emerging within the sector.

Liz joins us with her latest update on AI, technology and developments across the mortgage industry, focusing on the trends, innovation and market shifts advisers should already be preparing for.

The Connect Leadership Team will also share updates on network developments and future direction, with additional details to be announced shortly.
