Panel Session: Post Renters Right – what next for Buy to Let?

2025 has brought with it yet more change for landlords, who have had their fair share of change in the last few years. Keeping ahead of the information required for an intermediary to best support their landlords is a complex ask and here three lenders bring their thoughts on how this might best be done.

Presentation - AI – the increasing threat to the intermediary – or is it?

In this session we challenge all the thinking surrounding how AI will challenge the intermediary market, turning it on its head to detail how it has the potential to support your advice process, letting you spend more time with your clients and enhancing - not replacing your advice – with care and due diligence!

14.10 – 14.25

Fraud & Cyber Security - a clear and present danger.

As technology advances, so does the opportunity for fraud and the need for cyber security which is a clear and present danger to your firm. We ask experts in this area to explain how advanced some fraudsters are becoming, identifying their processes as opposed to those that just over inflate their earnings a little to secure their home, detailing how it doesn’t take long to become embroiled in a web of deceit unwittingly.

14.25 – 14.55

Panel Session: Innovation in the mortgage market – is it evolution or revolution?

We ask a number of lenders about their thoughts on the current product provision in the mortgage sector and debate the recent innovations that have grabbed headlines for a variety of reasons, while asking, what more is likely to come.
