Our agenda for the day covers a range of topical matters, identified by advisers as the subject matter they would like to know more about, in support of their business as well as help it to develop to the next level.
There has been much change in the markets over the last twelve months and doubtless more to come in the next, and in all of today’s sessions, we look to explore the here and now, as well as looking towards the future, to identify what might be coming down the tracks, how you can avoid the pitfalls and make the most of opportunity as it presents itself.
Supported by a cast of industry leaders, we feel sure your time will be well spent in listening to what’s discussed across each session – obviously with the opportunity of asking your pertinent questions of those offering their views.
Breakfast, exhibition time and networking
Our expert examines the key expectations of the next few months and into 2026, including any UK internal or UK external impacts potentially on the horizon and whether that is likely to have a positive or negative impact on the housing and mortgage markets.
Here we will look at lenders expectations and how they might be responding to change, regulation, choppy SWAP rates and the opportunities 2026 is going to bring to the intermediary market.
In recent months there have been changes in both organisations with a commitment towards working in tandem on similar types of projects. Both will outline their current and future focus in support of the intermediary markets and what they hope to deliver both shorter and longer term.
Featuring Steph Charman, Chief Exec – AMI
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.
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!
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.
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.
