Key Retirement Group will outline the growth of later life lending opportunities at the London Mortgage Business Expo on 11 October.

The event in London’s Barbican Centre will share insight on lending and advice as part of its programme of seminars and ‘Question Time’ panel sessions.

Dean Mirfin (pictured), chief product officer at Key Retirement Group will be leading a session at 12:15 on ‘Lending to older borrowers – from the possible to the impossible’ which will analyse the scope of opportunity within the rapidly expanding retirement lending market as well as highlighting its challenges.

He will also be part of a panel session on ‘Does the later life lending market really need more advisers?” between 12.45pm – 13:30pm.

Representatives from group companies, lender More 2 Life and referral service Key Partnerships are exhibiting at the event (stands H7 and H9 respectively) and will be available to discuss current trends and prospects in the equity release sector.

Mirfin said: “Demand for advice in the equity release market is growing rapidly and expanding into a wider debate about later life lending in general. The growth underlines the need for increased support for advisers on how to identify opportunities to grow their businesses and help clients.”

Industry panel sessions start from 10:15am and run to 16:00pm and all seminars will be accredited to qualify for Chartered Insurance Institute CPD points.
