Retirement Plus offers free home reversion 'top up' exam seminar in Scotland   11/02/2008

Retirement Plus has announced that it will be running a free home reversion ‘top up’ exam seminar at this year’s Financial Services Scotland Exhibition.

The seminar, a major part of this year’s exhibition, will take place in the Retirement Plus Seminar Suite in the SECC in Glasgow on Thursday 6th March 2008. The seminars are designed to help IFAs and brokers pass their exams on Home Reversion Plans.

The seminars are a direct response to the fact that SHIP has set a deadline for advisers to pass their top-up exams by April 2008. Any adviser who has not passed the exams by that date cannot claim to be whole of market in equity release and will not be able to do business with a SHIP member after that date.

To encourage advisers to take the exams Retirement Plus is also refunding the exam costs for those who have attended a seminar and passed the exams in one sitting before 30 April 2008.

Duncan Young , CEO said: “We have been operating in Scotland since last August and are delighted with the response we have received. We are hoping to help and encourage IFAs and brokers based in Scotland to pass their exams and to grow their businesses.

“These coaching seminars aim to give them a broader understanding of the expanding home reversion sector, and the part it plays in the wider equity release market.” For more information on the seminar or to reserve a place please email seminars@retirement-plus.co.uk or visit http://www.retirement-plus.co.uk. Attendance at the seminar is free, however the numbers are limited.
