New Zealand Fireside Chat
Leigh Hodgetts, FAMNZ

The fireside chat between Leigh and Susan will provide an illuminating exploration of New Zealand's evolving mortgage advisory landscape, with particular focus on the significant development of establishing a new Professional Association in 2024 and its implications for industry standards. Their conversation will delve into the regulatory framework governing New Zealand mortgage advisers, examining how recent rule changes have reshaped professional practices and client relationships. Attendees will gain valuable comparative insights into how New Zealand quantifies and articulates the value of mortgage advice to consumers, regulators, and financial institutions, while also benefiting from a candid discussion of current market challenges facing advisers. This engaging dialogue promises to deliver practical takeaways on association governance, regulatory navigation, and value demonstration that Irish brokers can adapt to their own practice, while offering a unique opportunity to understand parallels and differences between the New Zealand and Irish mortgage advice ecosystems.
