Kensington Mortgages CEO joins Thursday's webinar on mortgage market's recovery

Group CEO Mark Arnold joins a panel that will provide a wide set of perspectives on the mortgage market’s recovery so far, the implications for changes in digital capabilities, product offerings across lenders and operational agility.

Andy Efstathiou, banking sourcing research director at NelsonHall, the business process services analyst has also joined the panel, which already features experts from the banking software vendor Sopra and Experian.

The webinar, broadcast at 11am this Thursday (September 10), comes at a time where the mortgage market is seeing renewed activity and clear signs of recovery, with both the Halifax and Nationwide house price indices showing substantial month-on-month price increases. The Stamp Duty freeze has enticed home buyers back to the market while Bank of England data is also showing a recovery of mortgage approvals.

It also follows the recent round of bank results which showed there are now over 1.6 million mortgage payment holidays agreed. The webinar will explore the role of technology in managing these mortgage payment deferrals, just as the FCA guidance is changing.

The webinar will examine the macro and market elements needed to underpin growth, and recent changes in the competitive landscape, while anticipating what innovations in product design we can expect.

Taking place on Thursday September 10, at 11am, the webinar will be hosted by Credit Strategy’s managing editor Marcel Le Gouais. The panel comprises:

Richard Broadbent, UK managing director of Sopra Banking Software;
Derek Garriock, design and innovation director at Experian;

Mark Arnold, group chief executive, Kensington Mortgages;

Andy Efstathiou, banking sourcing research director at NelsonHall.
