Another session on valuations, presented by Steve Goodall, managing director, Legal & General Surveying Services tackled the valuer’s approach to new build and areas where the developer/valuer working practices need help.
The final session asked howexisting mortgage products could be improved or new products developed to build a lasting and more sustainable market.
The event was chaired by Andy Frankish, new homes director, Mortgage Advice Bureau and featured a raft of high profile speakers, from Phil Jenks, managing director of the Phil Jenks consultancy to Nationwide’s senior manager new build James Chidgey and Adrian MacDiarmid, head of mortgage lender relations at Barratt Developments.
