How prepared are you for what may happen next year – or even for the rest of this year?
Issues which need to be addressed over the near future include:
· Continuing mainstream mortgage issues, including reduced income multiples
· Further caps on high LTV lending
· New regulatory requirements for second charge loans
· Implementation of the European Mortgage Credit Directive
· Increasing incidence of fraud
· Volatile house prices
· Rising interest rates
· Debt recovery difficulties
· The potential for all loans to fall under regulation
The ASTL conference will bring together experts across all of these fields and more. It will look at which of the impending things banded around in the press are realistic and what are not.
It will also give you the information you need to establish which are threats to your business and which present opportunities. Attendees will also have the opportunity to network with other key players in the industry and to work together to discover how to protect your business and capitalise on upcoming opportunities.
Nothing is unachievable, but it is imperative for anybody involved in the bridging market to get together to look at exactly what challenges are around the corner and how to overcome them.
The conference is taking place in just a month on the 16th September 2014 at Painters Hall, 9 Little Trinity Street near Mansion House tube station in the City.
Speakers will include:
· Lynda Blackwell, manager of mortgage policy for the FCA
· Susan Emmett, Director, Residential Research Team, Savills
· Andy Fyfe, DCI, Economic Crime Directorate
· Benson Hersch, CEO of the ASTL
· Robert Sinclair, CEO of AMI and the AFB
There will also be a panel of experts from across the industry; there to update you and answer your questions. The conference is an opportunity for everyone who is in any way involved in bridging to join policy and decision makers to hear the latest on the property market, regulation and fraud detection.
For lenders and brokers, this is the ideal scenario. The conference speeches start at 11:00, with registration and reception from 10.30am to give people the chance to travel into London. There will also be a sponsored bar afterwards, so attendees have additional time to network and discuss ideas from the day.
To register for the conference, please go onto the ASTL website at www.theastl.org; telephone 01494 618 462 or email [email protected].
