TFC announces buy-to-let workshops

13 October 2015

Specialist mortgage distributor TFC Homeloans has announced two free specialist buy-to-let workshops. The events are aimed at advisers who want to learn more about how to boost their income while helping to place their landlord clients.

The workshops will take place on the mornings of 3rd and 5th of November in London and Warrington, and will provide brokers with a detailed understanding of the different sectors within the buy-to-let market. There will be expert presentations in both locations from Fleet Mortgages, Foundation Home Loans and Pepper Homeloans, plus Aldermore will present at the Warrington workshop and Metro Bank in London.

Nigel Payne, managing director of TFC Homeloans, said: “Our buy-to-let workshops are always extremely popular with advisers who want to better understand this important sector of the market.

“With a raft of new lenders having launched over the last few years, targeting different types of buy-to-let clients, it’s important to keep on top of the latest issues and opportunities. Our workshops give you the confidence that you are fully up to date.”

Key topics being discussed at the events include the imminent regulatory changes and the impact they will have on mortgage brokers, overviews of the lending market for landlords with unusual circumstances, the changes to tax relief for landlords announced in the Budget and a focus on portfolio lending. There will also be a Q&A session with all of the morning’s speakers and refreshments.

Paul Brett, business development director at Foundation Home Loans, said: “Workshops like these provide a great opportunity for intermediaries to hear from the top lenders in the sector and understand more about the buy-to-let market in a collaborative, two-way format. We also find these events particularly valuable as they provide us with the kind of front-line feedback that helps us to more closely match our proposition to the needs of brokers and their clients.”

Bob Young, chief executive officer of Fleet Mortgages, added: “The buy-to-let market is growing and developing at a pace and therefore advisers need to be on top of the forthcoming regulatory changes plus the implications on their clients of, for example, the Government’s recent decision to cut tax relief on mortgage interest payments. These developments will have a considerable impact and Fleet Mortgages is therefore delighted to be involved in these events to provide up to date and relevant information to all those brokers active, or interested, in the buy-to-let market.”
