The Association has secured a number of industry heavyweights who will discuss the event’s main themes: the buy-to-let market and its relationship to brokers, bridging finance and the wider finance and property market.
It has also announced that Arthur Online will be the forum’s main sponsor.
The AOBP April Forum takes place on Thursday 27th April at the 100-seat capacity Picture and Private Screening Rooms at the Soho Hotel in central London.
The forum will pose key questions such as: how is the buy-to-let market faring one year on from the stamp duty land tax increase, how are lenders’ products supporting landlords and can the market stave off further intervention?
The AOBP has confirmed the following participants for the panel Q&A session:
• John Eastgate, sales and marketing director at OneSavings Bank
• James Davis, CEO of Upad
• D’mitri Zaprzala, head of sales at Octopus Property
• Andrew Bloom, founder of Masthaven
• Alan Cleary, managing director of Precise Mortgages
• Matthew Wyles, executive director at Castle Trust Capital PLC
Matthew felt the April Forum was an excellent chance for an experienced group of professionals to debate new strategies which its clients would inevitably demand in the coming months and years.
“PRA regulation and an increasingly complex fiscal landscape will inevitably impact structurally on the buy-to-let market.
“In this evolving environment, there will be a host of new opportunities for brokers to use their creativity to provide flexible funding solutions to help landlords to exploit the great potential for profit which exists.
David Cummin, chief technology officer at Arthur Online, said he was looking forward to speaking to AOBP brokers with them gaining an understanding of where technology is going in the property sector and how Arthur is helping to transform the market.
“Arthur Online is a ‘first-of-its-kind’ property management platform empowering property managers to connect with tenants, contractors, letting agents and property owners.
“Full capability from the suite of apps and web allows users to manage their portfolios from anywhere in the world in real time.”
The April Forum starts at 3.30pm with a drinks reception with the panel discussion taking place between 4.30-6pm.
Places at the forum are limited.
