Connect Mortgage Club (CMC) has revealed that 14 specialist lenders will be supporting its buy-to-let and commercial roadshow events this summer.
The events, to be held in venues across the country, will be supported by Blemain Group, Bridgebank, Cambridge and Counties, Dragonfly Finance, Fleet Mortgages, Foundation Home Loans, Kensington, Kent Reliance, Masthaven, MT Finance, Precise Mortgages, Shawbrook Bank, The Loans Engine and Signature Private Finance.
Kevin Thomson, sales director of Connect Mortgage Club, said: “Each of these lenders occupy key niche areas within the commercial, buy-to-let and specialist lending market, meaning their knowledge and direct input on the day will be invaluable to the brokers who attend.
“These technical seminars are designed to help advisers understand how pending regulatory changes may affect their business and explore the full range of products across a comprehensive range of topics including complex buy-to-lets, HMO, commercial and semi-commercial properties, development and bridging finance. Plus it will give brokers the opportunity to gain useful tips and guidance straight from lenders and have their questions directly answered by the right people.”
Bob Young, CEO at Fleet Mortgages, added: “Events like this are absolutely vital for a lender like Fleet Mortgages as it allows us to meet and talk to advisers, and present our views on market developments – and there have been plenty in the buy-to- let space recently. Plus we are able to show how our specialist product range for experienced landlords and our criteria fits both client needs and this rapidly changing sector.
“In light of George Osborne’s Emergency Budget, and the impending cut to higher-rate tax relief on interest payments for buy-to-let borrowers, there is now a growing interest in using limited company vehicles to purchase investment properties. As one of the few lenders in the market that understands and offers products in this space, we will be using the Connect event to educate advisers on how they can support their clients who might be considering their options in this area.”
