2023 was a turbulent year for the UK mortgage market. It witnessed the highest interest rates seen in 15 years, with a stream of consecutive Bank of England base rate rises resulting in the purchase market slowing. How did the mortgage industry cope with these challenges? Well, the introduction of the new Consumer Duty regulations and a rise in innovative products filling market gaps, has helped lead to a consumer focussed market and a positive end to the year. So, what can we expect for the future of the mortgage market in 2024 and beyond?

Join us for an insightful webinar, where we will take a look back at the UK mortgage market in 2023 and share our analysis, insights and predictions. You will hear from some of our key lender partners, who discuss topics such as:
• The state of the housing and mortgage market in 2023
• The growth of fintech and green lending in the mortgage industry
• The new regulations and policies that shaped the mortgage market in 2023
• The best practices and lessons learned from the mortgage industry in 2023

Samm will be joined by speakers from Bank of Ireland, LendInvest, Market Harborough BS, Skipton and The Mortgage Lender. Register now and secure your place for this informative and engaging webinar.

Overcoming complexities in a challenging property market

With the current challenges in the property sector Paul Huxter looks to explore the how and why specialist lenders like West One are becoming more important to borrowers in today’s Buy-to-Let market. Lenders cannot solely rely on rates to support borrowers, as we see more complex cases from borrowers, specialist lenders are primed to use their criteria and USPs to differentiate and support borrowers. Understanding where the West One criteria and USPs fit in today’s market is key to finding solutions are the Buy-to-Let market evolves.

The Future of Buy-to-Let, what is on the horizon?

An incredible 28% of retirees have returned to work as the cost-of-living bites. Now, more than ever, the industry needs more brokers to step up and embrace later life lending. 

LiveMore’s “The Cost of Living Over 50” project looks at how the crisis is affecting older borrowers:

• 59% have been impacted by the cost-of-living
• 1 in 5 don’t know how they will cope
•  6 in 10 don’t trust financial services to help them navigate the cost-of-living

In this webinar, LiveMore discuss the biggest misconceptions in later life lending and how it is easier than many brokers think to help borrowers over 50.
