Free adviser events on later life lending set

A series of free adviser events across the UK called the “Later Life Lending Collaboration” will be held next week, supported by later life lenders and distributors, including Hodge, LiveMore, Air Mortgage Club, Standard Life Home Finance, Legal & General Home Finance, and the Family Building Society.

The CPD-accredited, interactive events will explore the later life lending sector, allowing delegates to share expertise and knowledge.

Those interested can register for the following events: Leeds (June 4), Coventry (June 5), and Swindon (June 6). The first event has already been held in Glasgow.

“The inaugural event in Glasgow was a great success, and I’m looking forward to supporting the remainder of the collaborations,” said Daniel Holden (pictured left), head of the academy learning programme at Air Mortgage Club.

“I will be discussing how comprehensive conversations and adopting a relational mindset are critical when considering a customer’s needs, as this not only supports Consumer Duty, but also acts as a lead generator.”

Emma Graham (pictured centre), director of business development at Hodge, highlighted the importance of these events, citing recent Hodge research that shows 70% of brokers require more education in the later life space.

“Education is key, and this is why we’ve formed this unique collaboration to give brokers access to lenders who cater across the breadth of the later life market, from affordability-based solutions to lifetime,” she said.

Les Pick (pictured right), director of intermediary sales at LiveMore, added that adviser feedback on the workshop format had been positive.

“All advisers supporting customers lending into their retirement should look to attend these events,” he said. “You won’t be lectured at; they are designed to stimulate conversation in collaboration with industry experts and fellow advisers.”
