The seminar presentation, ‘The potential impacts of the European mortgage directive on the market’ will take place on Day One at 3pm and will be delivered by Isabelle Audigier and Rebekka De Nie from BIPAR, the European Federation of Insurance Intermediaries.
BIPAR works closely with the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries in representing UK intermediaries’ interests to the major European bodies such as the Commission and Parliament. Attendees will be able to hear first-hand from those working directly with MEPs and the Commission about this new directive on residential mortgages, the desired impacts of the directive and the implications for the UK market and intermediaries in particular.
Mortgage Business Expo will follow up Day One’s BIPAR presentation with the key note address from Sheila Nicoll, Conduct Policy Director at the FSA on Day Two. She will be using the seminar to outline the regulator’s current thinking on the Mortgage Market Review including key issues such as affordable lending and the outlook for distribution.
Mortgage Business Expo takes place on the 16th and 17th November at Olympia 2, London and the full seminar programme has been put together by the AMI providing attendees with an array of advice and opinion on a variety of key issues facing the intermediary market.
The exhibition has almost 100 exhibitors including major UK mortgage lenders Nationwide Building Society, Kensington Mortgages, Northern Rock, Woolwich and many more.
James Prosser, MBE 2011 Show Director, commented:
“It is vitally important that the MBE 2011 seminar programme reflects the interests of our attendees and covers the major issues and regulatory action that is likely to have a huge bearing on the future direction of the mortgage marketplace in this country. The European Commission’s directive on mortgages has been widely debated and the rumour mill has been working overtime regarding what it will and won’t include.
"We are therefore pleased to have two representatives from BIPAR presenting at MBE as they work closely with the individuals who will eventually decide how the final Directive might look, and what it will mean for the UK mortgage market.
"Anyone interested in gaining an insight into how a post-European mortgage directive landscape in the UK is likely to look will I’m sure be attending this not to be missed seminar on Day One of our event. We look forward to seeing the UK intermediary profession out in large numbers to debate the direction our market is heading in.”
