Podcast #31 - Later Life Lending

In episode 31 of the Growth Series podcast, Nicola Alvarez, Corporate Account Manager - Proposition Development at Accord Mortgages, is joined by Marie Catch, Head of Broker Sales at Legal & General, and Rory Joseph, Director at JLM Mortgage Services. There has been a rise in later life lending over recent years and, with the ageing demographic, this is set to continue. Many brokers already operate in this market and others are considering entering the market and developing their proposition to address the need.

Lifetime mortgage lender more2life revealed in a survey that the size of the later life lending market in 2019 will reach £295bn and is set to increase by 85% over the next ten years - nearly doubling to over half a trillion pounds by 2029 (£548bn).

The panellists discuss how the later life lending market is evolving, how consumer behaviour is changing and how brokers can adapt their toolkits to be in a position to better support their customers.
