The property sector’s biggest business-to-business event will be held in the ExCeL exhibition centre in London, on February 26 and 27, and is targeted at every type of property professional: solicitors, estate agents, intermediaries, surveyors, landlords, even removal companies.
The show has attracted more participants than before as lenders demonstrate that, despite confusion over regulation and the hype over the internet, they are still committed to mortgage advisers.
This year the show will include a number of mortgage lenders, both high street and sub-prime, many of which will be promoting their buy-to-let ranges.
Simon Biddle, marketing manager at Preferred Mortgages, said: "Buy-to-let is an exciting sector for adverse mortgage lenders. Landlords will be fairly entrepreneurial and they may have run up debts – possibly even been bankrupted in the past. Obviously, getting mortgages from a high street lender can prove difficult – yet many people in this sector don’t fully understand the alternatives that exist. I think most sub-prime lenders do a reasonable job in serving the sector but I am not sure they get their message across."
