CeRER - Certificate in Regulated Equity Release Public Workshop

What are the benefits of taking this exam?

 
The mortgage mainstream market has been getting tougher over the last few months as a result of the global credit crunch.  This trend will not go away overnight so maybe you've been thinking of ways to diversify?
 
The answer is to become qualified to be able to advise on equity release products to your clients.
 
Why?
  • A 2004 study estimates that total equity in property owned by people over 65 is at least £1.1 trillion*
  • The same study also estimated that annual equity release sales would increase from the current £1 billion to £2 billion by 2010 and then to £30 billion by 2031*
  • Lifetime mortgage lending at the end of 2005 had reached £5.3 billion. This is equal to only 0.55% of the whole mortgage market by value*
  • Most pensioners see a reduction in income of at least 37% when they retire, a third will see a reduction of at least 50%

    * Figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders
So its a huge market for you to get into which will allow you to diversify away from mainstream mortgages thus increasing your professionalism and client base.
How do you get authorised? 
 
By taking the IFS's CeRER exam. 
 
How can Archer Training help? 
 
We know that you're busy so we've designed a one day workshop that'll prepare you for the exam so you could get yourself qualified very quickly and be selling equity release products very soon.
