Sanjay Gadhia, Head of Sales at Standard Life Home Finance, said: “We’re acutely aware of the growing interest in the later life lending market from an adviser community who are increasingly seeing older borrowers with a variety of lending needs, and who want to ensure they are covering off all product options available to them in order to deliver positive outcomes.

“At the same time, we know that the later life lending market moves fast, and even those specialist advisers immersed in the sector, are often looking for a refresher into what is currently available, and detailed information on how they might grow their propositions, particularly in areas like lead generation, marketing and utilising the enhanced technology tools that are available.

“Our clinic sessions, taking place through October and November, are designed to provide detailed analysis, information and showcase benefits to advisers already active, those who want to do more, and those who want to make their mark in the sector.

“Easily accessible online, the Standard Life Home Finance team will be providing plenty of food for thought and tangible resource and support for advisers, and we hope many in the community will be able to join us for what promises to be a series of enjoyable, interactive sessions.”
