Connect Mortgage Club (CMC) will be hosting 12 buy-to-let and commercial finance seminars for brokers.
The events to be held in venues across middle to southern England are tailored to give mortgage brokers and intermediaries an insight into the current cross over between buy-to-let and commercial finance, acquire ideas and knowledge direct from lenders and industry players, as well as understanding how pending regulatory changes may effect their business.
Topics covered at each event include:
- Key new lenders within the market.
- Complex case placement, lender criteria and products.
- Options surrounding pending regulation changes.
- FCA permissions and the products one can offer.
Liz Syms (pictured), managing director of Connect Mortgage Club, said: “Commercial lending has always been seen as separate to buy- to-let, however the truth is buy-to-let lenders are becoming more diverse in their types of lending and are making vast inroads into the complex finance sector.
“These technical seminars are designed to help brokers explore the full range of buy-to-let and commercial lender products currently available, through practical examples, real life scenarios and direct lender input.
“Another key focus of these seminars is to discuss the pending regulatory requirements facing brokers who predominately operate in this market and the impact these regulatory decisions will have on the range of financial products that they will be able to offer going forward.
“The landscape for the unregulated mortgage broker is changing and we want to empower brokers with the knowledge to continue to access the best and most suitable products for their clients and make an informed choice on what permission route is right for them.”
