SimplyBiz Mortgages to end year with showcase

The event, which will be open to non-members of SimplyBiz Group, will host over 30 lenders and providers in addition to a number of seasonal stalls and Woolwich’s ‘Digital Wall’

Martin Reynolds, chief executive of SimplyBiz Mortgages, said: “It has been a busy year for us, with over 70 events already having taken place, but we wanted to bring something slightly new to the market, that had a bit of fun involved and that was open to all.

“The theme for the day is “clear your desk and open your mind” – we want advisers to challenge the lenders and providers in attendance with all their difficult cases and encourage the industry to clear all of our desks by Christmas.

“Additionally, the seminars have been designed for advisers to be able to plan for some of the changes and challenges that lie ahead during 2016 and quiz senior staff from lenders on the market. All the seminars will carry CPD.”

Seminars will cover buy-to-let and the tax challenge, secured loans post Mortgage Credit Directive, dealing with ‘The Unplaceables’ and general insurance.

Roger Morris, director of sales at Precise Mortgages, said: “With new taxation rules coming into play next year and a constantly evolving mortgage market, advisers are keen to get ahead of the competition.

“We are looking forward to assisting advisers at this market-leading event and helping prepare the industry for 2016.”
