The event, taking place as part of Financial Services Scotland, is aimed at both brokers and financial advisers active in the mortgage market.
There will be two specific presentations to examine deeper issues pervading the market which are as follows:
‘Housing market trends in Scotland’
This will cover a number of areas including: how does the sector compare to the rest of the UK; market activity rates of Scottish home owners; the Scottish economy; demography; the role of land supply in the market; and the role of the private rented sector.
The session will be chaired by Kennedy Foster, Scotland Policy Consultant at the CML with a presentation by David Stubbs, Chief Economist at the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
'The new Home Report – the future for the market and the marketplace’
This will focus on the introduction of the Home Report in Scotland from the 1 December 2008.
The session will again be chaired by Kennedy Foster with presentations by Alison Hatrick, Chair of the Scottish Home Affairs Committee at the National Association of Estate Agents and Jim Gibson of Harvey Donaldson & Gibson.
Financial Services Scotland also introduces the brand new Adviser exhibition for financial advisers and planners, with four conference theatres.
These will cover Products, Tax & Estate Planning, Business & Compliance, and the Financial Planning Theatre in association with the Institute of Financial Planning.
