Central Trust to introduce BTL product in Northern Ireland roadshow

The two roadshows will take place in early December and will also hear from specialist lender Evolution Money.

Central Trust business development manager Chris Waind said: “We are very excited by the concept for the roadshows and have launched a new buy to let product aimed specifically at servicing the market in Northern Ireland.

“As we consider all property types, including ex-council and high rise and we cater for a diverse range of customer credit profiles, we believe our lending products will open up new ways to grow brokers’ businesses.”

The roadshows, which have been organised by the master broker in conjunction with Source Insurance, aim to inform brokers about the specialist lending and buy-to-let markets, as well as the general insurance market in Northern Ireland.

With mortgage lending reportedly up 18% up in Q3 in Northern Ireland, the organisers believe there is an appetite for new opportunities for active brokers looking to grow and develop their businesses.

The roadshows will be held at the City Hotel, Derry, on 5 December and the Dunsilly Hotel, Antrim, on 6 December. They are free and brokers will qualify for CPD points as well as Source Reward Points by attending the events.

Clever Lending managing director Sam Kirtikar said: “In such a growing mortgage market, it’s vitally important that master brokers, lenders and other providers show support for brokers across the UK, and not just on the mainland. We are confident that the roadshows will be very well attended and provide a valuable service to the finance sector in Northern Ireland.”

Source Insurance head of sales Brian Coulton added: “There is definitely a thirst for knowledge among financial and mortgage advisers in Northern Ireland to learn about new ways to grow their finance businesses. It has been under served in this regard for many years.”
