Paradigm Mortgage Services is holding two exclusive half-day buy-to-let workshops open to all DA advisers with The Mortgage Works and Legal & General.
Attendees at the courses, to be held in London and Southampton in November and December, will hear an introduction from John Coffield, head of Paradigm Mortgages.
This will be followed by two presentations on the BTL market from Eddie Curran, corporate account manager for Nationwide for Intermediaries/The Mortgage Works, and Keith Jones, National Account Manager at L&G.
Curran will be providing an overview of the BTL market for 2013 and next year, while outlining the opportunities available for advisers to write more business.
Jones will be covering specific products for landlords plus the business protection opportunities that exist in the sector.
Paradigm will also be offering its perspective on the Mortgage Market Review (MMR) rules, with partnership development manager Christine Newell offering guidance on where firms should be with their preparations.
Spaces are limited for each event and advisers are urged to register with Paradigm Mortgages as soon as possible.
Bob Hunt, chief executive of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “The private rental sector continues to be a significant part of the overall UK housing market with tenant demand still strong and likely to be for some time to come.
"Many advisers will already be active in BTL however this provides an opportunity to learn about the market as it currently stands and to ensure they are covering off all bases when it comes to supporting their clients’ needs from a mortgage, insurance and protection perspective.
"Both TMW and L&G are leaders in their fields and will be able to impart a wealth of advice, knowledge and support to help advisers in this thriving marketplace.
"Plus we will also be able to provide our own MMR update to aid advisers and firms as they look to meet the deadline for the rule changes in April next year.
"These events are open to all DA advisers not just Paradigm members and we look forward to seeing a strong attendance in both London and Southampton in the coming weeks.”
The first event will take place on Thursday 28 November in London at Hogarth House, 136 High Holborn, London WC1V 6PX.
The second event is scheduled for Wednesday 4th December in Southampton at the Hilton Hotel, Bracken Place, Chilworth SO16 3NG.
The London workshop begins with registration and coffee from 10am while the Southampton event begins at 9.30am. Both events are open to all directly authorised (DA) advisers. All attendees can earn CPD points by attending.
