Arnold & Baldwin has introduced a range of CPD seminars to help brokers establish greater knowledge and confidence when it comes the surveying process.

The Chartered Surveyor is delivering the seminars free of charge to educate brokers about different types of survey and how to interpret them, local properties and their most common defects, how to properly prep clients and how a well-managed survey leads to a successful deal.

Joe Arnold (pictured), managing director of Arnold & Baldwin, said: “Mortgage brokers are working in a competitive and slow-moving market and so it is important they can demonstrate the value they add against traditional competitors and online services. By increasing their knowledge and confidence, brokers can build trust through credibility and develop stronger relationships with their clients.

“The survey is such a crucial part of the homebuying process and our CPD seminar will provide brokers with some of the information they need to hold a deal together and ultimately get it over the line.

“If we can help brokers build their knowledge and develop a mindset of adding extra value to clients, they will win the trust of the purchasers of today, who will become the remortgagors of tomorrow, and this could help protect their business pipeline for years to come.”
