This year’s event provides the mortgage industry with an opportunity to debate and hear the latest viewpoints on the FSA’s recommendations made in the Mortgage Market Review (MMR). Both the IMLA and AMI seminars will be covering the MMR in depth.
The AMI programme of seminar sessions includes a presentation from Lesley Titcomb of the FSA on the MMR on Day One, with Robert Sinclair of AMI covering the main MMR issues on Day Two.
The IMLA Lenders Theatre offers sessions on ‘The Future of the Mortgage Market’ with a presentation by Peter Williams, Executive Director of IMLA, plus a discussion focused on the likely outcomes of the MMR with panel attendees Stephen Smith (LandG), Jonathan Sandall (Shelter), Paul Howard and James Briffett (both Nationwide Building Society).
Other AMI Theatre presentations cover the economy and its impact on the housing/mortgage markets, how advisers can market their businesses into the next decade, effective lead generation, plus making equity release work and the viability of sale and rent back. The IMLA Theatre also includes presentations from lenders Nationwide Building Society and Platform, plus a wider look at the buy-to-let market.
Daniel Nwaokolo, MBE 2009 Show Director, commented:
“The seminar presentations at MBE 2009 are a core part of the event and once again we are delighted to have such a strong programme in both the AMI and IMLA Theatres. Clearly, the mortgage market has a huge amount of information to digest with the recommendations made by the FSA in this week’s MMR and this is why we have a number of sessions dedicated to the review, its content and the future implications for intermediaries and advisers.
“On Day One of the Expo in the AMI Theatre Lesley Titcomb of the FSA will be using her presentation to give a full review of the MMR and the reasoning behind its recommendations, while on Day Two Robert Sinclair from AMI will give the trade body interpretation of the discussion paper.
"The IMLA Theatre will also provide information and advice on the MMR from IMLA Executive Director, Peter Williams, and an esteemed panel who will debate the major issues on both days. This is a period of great potential change for the mortgage market and we look forward to welcoming all stakeholders to MBE next month to debate and discuss the future path of the mortgage industry.”
This year’s MBE 2009 event will also focus on delivering practical advice, learning, insight and business opportunities for intermediaries and key channel distributors.
