Turning a new leaf in mortgage and property insight
As autumn makes its arrival and the leaves begin to turn, this month’s Mortgage & Property Investment Magazine delivers a snapshot of fresh perspectives on just some of the trends, technologies, and transformations shaping what’s next. From smarter systems to shifting legislation, and with insight from some of the industry’s most forward-thinking voices, we explore how innovation and reform are redefining the mortgage and property landscape.
The future of mortgage advice: technology meets expertise
In a sector where outdated processes and disconnected systems have long slowed progress, Acreis leading the charge toward a more connected future. In our exclusive interview for the October edition, Founder and CEO Justus Brown shares how his own frustrating mortgage journey inspired the creation of an all-in-one platform designed to streamline the advice process and improve client outcomes. From data integration to AI-driven efficiency, discover how smarter tools are helping advisers work faster, stay compliant, and focus more on advice, ultimately driving lasting change across the mortgage industry.
The Renters’ Rights Bill and its ripple effect on the property market
With the Renters’ Rights Bill edging closer to implementation, advisers are assessing what the changes could mean for landlords, tenants, and first-time buyers alike. Cordelia Smith of Hunters Law LLP joins us to explore how the proposed abolition of no-fault evictions is already influencing investor sentiment, and why small-scale landlords are beginning to reconsider their portfolios. Could this shift open new opportunities for buyers or add pressure to an already tight rental market? Cordelia’s feature unpacks both sides of the story.
