Join Ian Scarrott, Senior Corporate Account Manager at InterBay, as he explores the world of holiday lets and the wider buy to let market,  sharing his knowledge and the latest insights about this style of lending.

Ian will focus on the differences between a holiday let mortgage and a standard buy to let, along with potential case quirks you may encounter along the way. He’ll also identify which landlords could benefit from InterBay and the wider OSB Group’s diverse criteria, enabling you to consider all the different aspects on a case and how you could support your clients.

This is a real journey of discovery into a specific area of the mortgage market. Although we can’t guarantee the sunshine, we hope you’ll walk away with a deeper and wider understanding of how you can help your landlord customers including those that are considering purchasing a holiday let as part of their portfolio. It really is a session not to be missed!

In 2019, the UK government set a target to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole UK by 2050. This commitment means we have 30 years to completely decarbonise the economy.

There are about 30 million buildings in the UK, responsible for around 30% of our national emissions. The vast majority of these emissions result from heating: 79% of buildings emissions and about 23% of all UK emissions.

The Government has committed to upgrading as many homes as possible to achieve EPC band C by 2035 and has consulted on various proposals which will affect our industry. 

Join our webinar to understand the direction of change, the current proposals and what these mean to lenders, brokers and our customers, the property owners.

The Green Agenda – Understanding the Policy Perspective

The over 55’s market has been growing steadily and for many mortgage brokers, offering an opportunity to diversify their business. Lifetime mortgages and Retirement Interest Only mortgages (RIO), sometimes unfairly viewed as niche products, are increasingly being used to help clients:

• Support children and grandchildren onto the property ladder
• Fund a fresh start after a later life divorce
• Pay for home improvements or adaptations to improve independence 

But how do you spot the clients that could be helped? 

In this webinar we’ll highlight some of the key types of clients that lifetime mortgages and RIOs could be suitable for. We’ll show you:

• An overview of later life lending products 
• recent enhancements to our RIO mortgage to meet the needs of more of your clients
• How to identify clients who could be suitable
• Easy steps to get the best from an affordability assessment 
• Tips to generate leads from professional connections and beyond 

Marie Catch, Head of Mortgage Market Development at Legal & General will be joined by Key Account Manager, Sara Freer and Underwriting Manager, Matthew Joyner for an in-depth panel discussion. 

You’ll be able to ask the speakers questions on any of the topics covered.

We are delighted that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport will be joining the session to give their views and thoughts as to what will happen going forward within the ID&V space.

ID&V Spotlight - A look at progress in this area

Bluestone Mortgages exists to serve borrowers that are typically deemed 
'Unlendable' by the high street, whether it be due to a life event that has led to financial difficulty or due to incomes being complex. 

We will begin by examining the four key drivers that the FCA have identified in regards to potential financial vulnerability along with the types of industry sectors that are driving clients towards complex credit lenders. This will identify and shape a picture of a typical Bluestone customer. In order to highlight the key reasons to consider placing business with Bluestone Mortgages, we will then move on to explore the adverse approach, specifically paying attention to key differences when compared to other lenders and how criteria on completion can allow an intermediary to submit a case without waiting for it to fit criteria. Following this, an overview of the approach to the different income structures observed shall be reviewed, beginning with self-employed.

The focus will progress to a summary of the common errors made when submitting applications and consider the potential forms and declarations that are needed when placing a case.

At the end of the presentation, the following three objectives are aimed to be achieved;
1. The drivers of complex credit lending
2. To have provided an idea of when Bluestone Mortgages should be considered.
3. How to effectively package an application.

Complex Credit, the "Age of the Unlendables"

Keystone Property Finance are a specialist buy to let lender for intermediaries only. They will be looking at the impact the UK housing market is currently having on C02 emissions and the steps that both lenders and landlords can take to help shape the future of green living for tenants.

The Future of Green Homes

Landlords are always looking to create the most tax-efficient vehicles for their buy-to-let properties. However, accountants and tax specialists' advice needs to consider what a lender can and cannot do when it comes to limited company structures. 

During this session, you will get a complete understanding of the ever-changing structures of a limited company and how to best go about finding a solution. 

We will also be looking at the types of Limited Companies including SPV’s and Trading Companies along with their key differences. 

We’ll cover off some examples of structures we are seeing, which at first blush might baffle, but looking deeper they will make sense given the advice on the structure of these Limited Companies comes from accountants and tax specialists.

Finally, we will extinguish the fear many brokers have in dealing with a Limited Company application, by highlighting the differences between a standard (individual) application and a Limited Company application.


Topics Include:
• Basics of lending to a limited company.
• Different types of limited company structures that lenders accept.
• Housekeeping when it comes to underwriting a limited company.

The changing landscape of limited company buy-to-let

This webinar will focus on the main changes that are at the forefront of the Buy to Let sector including Fintech & Green Mortgages including discussion around these points and the reasons they are on everyone's mind. During the presentation, we will also discuss Molo Finance's key USPs and our recent launch into the PBTL area.

The Changing World of Buy to Let

We are LiveMore, the later life lending experts who have developed an innovative portfolio of Interest Only mortgages.  These are mainstream products specifically designed to meet the particular needs of borrowers aged 50 – 90+.  

Our flexible human approach to underwriting means that we can help in a wide variety of cases where other lenders can’t.  Affordability is assessed on the Interest Only payment alone, which increases the client’s borrowing capacity, and we are also able to consider income that will plausibly continue beyond retirement age.  

Combining the very latest technology with truly personal service, we make the application process clear, easy and smooth – questions are kept to a minimum and support is readily available.  As our name suggests we are giving older borrowers a whole new lease of life.

Our webinar will cover:  

- An overview of our TIO and RIO product ranges and how they differ 
- Types of customers our products are suitable for
- Real life customer scenarios of cases we have been able to help
- Our fresh approach to affordability and how it can help you
- How our unique in market Ongoing Care Fee can enable you to earn more commission.

While we can expect the coming months in the Buy-to-Let market to be dominated by new business, holiday lets and a focus on upgrading properties to meet with EPC requirements; the remortgage market will also have a large role to play in 2022. Our BDMs will walk through how we as a lender are looking to help both you and your clients navigate this busy and complex space with ease. From new rates, product initiative and making your process simple through technology, we can make this end to end process as simple as possible.

• Remortgages at their highest 5 years on from the PRA’s changes back in 2017
• Holiday lets stand strong as the UK population are still committed to staycations
• Technology making property finance simple, with online portals, integration of Open Banking and electronic ID verification.

BTL in 2022, re-mortgages, technology and how the market moves on

Borrowing scenarios are rarely straightforward and BTL cases are rarely without their quirks. 

This can present an issue as most BTL lenders focus exclusively on vanilla business.  

During this session we will look at the types of complex cases you may have struggled to place in the past – foreign national and expats, first time buyers / landlords, borrowers with low income or adverse credit, HMOs, multi-unit blocks, semi-commercial properties, properties which require refurbishment and many more. 

Our session will focus on areas of growth we have noticed in the market and where we believe there to be planning opportunities.
