The Mortgage Marketing Forum (MMF) has unveiled a Sustainability Webinar for its members and is making it available free of charge to non-members.

This Sustainability in the Mortgage Market Webinar will feature Ana Bajri, head of sustainability at Countrywide Surveying Services, who will discuss current government announcements to drive sustainability and achieve its net zero carbon targets.

She will cover how these announcements might impact the UK residential property market, considerations for lenders and brokers and what steps businesses can take to make a more tangible difference.

The Webinar will take place on Friday 25 February at 10am and registration is available here.

The Mortgage Marketing Forum now has marketer members from across the mortgage and specialist finance sector including high street lenders, specialist residential, buy-to-let and bridging lenders, mortgage clubs and networks and technology firms. The Forum hosts a full events programme this year, as well as provide exclusive content and training for its members.

Paul Hunt, director at The Mortgage Marketing Forum, said: “Sustainability is such an important issue that we wanted to make this event available to the whole mortgage market, not just members of the Forum. Everyone wants to do the right thing, but policy is constantly evolving and there are many pitfalls, such as being seen as simply paying lip service to the issue rather than taking it as seriously as we all must.

“Ana has a huge amount of knowledge and experience and I know that this will be a must-attend event.”

Bajri added: “There’s a lot of policy coming down the track and, at Countrywide, we are engaging with this policy and working with industry and RICS to ensure we remain the experts and can help to identify solutions for more energy efficient housing that will tackle the long-term impact of climate risk.

“Sustainability is my full-time job, so I’m fully immersed in it and I’m looking forward to sharing some of my knowledge with the Mortgage Marketing Forum.”
