As specialists in equity release advice and later life mortgages, we’re always keen to engage with events that push standards higher and support better outcomes for customers. The Right Mortgage’s annual conference once again delivered on insight, inspiration and energy — finishing the year in true style.
Celebrating Excellence in Later Life Lending
The conference marked the final major event of the year for The Right Mortgage, rounding off what has been described as another record-breaking year for the network. With later life finance becoming increasingly important for UK homeowners, the event highlighted just how far the sector has evolved and where it’s heading next.
For the team at My Later Life, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow later life specialists, discuss trends in equity release, and share ideas around improving customer journeys, compliance standards, and long-term financial wellbeing.
Events like this are invaluable for firms operating in the later life mortgage and equity release space, especially as demand continues to grow among homeowners aged 55+ who are exploring ways to unlock property wealth responsibly.
A Focus on People, Not Just Products
One of the most refreshing aspects of The Right Mortgage’s Later Life Lending Conference is its strong emphasis on people, professionalism and positive culture. From educational sessions to informal networking, the focus was firmly on delivering ethical, customer-centric later life advice.
A special mention goes to the Later Life Specialists and sponsors who brought incredible energy to the evening , including Catharine (Kate) Glover who embraced the event’s Studio 54 theme with enthusiasm.
Yes, there really was a conga line led by someone wearing a disco ball head , a reminder that even in a highly regulated industry, there’s room for personality, connection and fun.
