Buy-to-Let & Investor Finance Expo opens registration for 2026

Registration has officially opened for the Buy-to-Let & Investor Finance Expo 2026, taking place at Cranmore Park in Birmingham on 2nd June, with an expanded focus designed to reflect the full spectrum of today’s landlord and investor finance market. 

Now in its third year, the event - formerly known as the National Buy-to-Let Adviser Event (NBTLAE) - has been repositioned to better support advisers operating in an increasingly complex landscape. While buy-to-let remains at its core, the expo now brings together a wider ecosystem of products and providers that modern landlords rely on, including bridging, development finance, second charge lending and portfolio structuring. 

Supported by Fleet Mortgages, Keystone Property Finance and OSB Group, the event will feature an agenda focused on real-world application. Sessions will cover key topics including the post-Renters' Rights Act landscape, structuring complex landlord cases, identifying investor finance opportunities and building more strategic client relationships.  

Furthermore, a key differentiator for 2026 is the breadth of voices within the programme, which will feature perspectives from across the landlord industry. This includes representatives from the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA), active professional landlords and tax advisers.  

This approach gives brokers direct insights from those actively operating within the landlord space, creating a more rounded learning experience that is designed to support advisers who are now guiding clients across a broader, more interconnected financial journey and spectrum of products. 

The expo will host more than 20 exhibitors from across the buy-to-let and investor finance market, providing advisers with the opportunity to discuss live cases, explore new products, and strengthen relationships, with dedicated networking sessions and a complimentary lunch provided.

Andy Shields, co-founder of Made Events and BTLIFE, said: "We’ve deliberately evolved this event to reflect what’s actually happening in the market. Buy-to-let is still fundamental, but it no longer exists in isolation. Advisers are having broader, more strategic conversations with their clients, and they need an event that supports that. 

"What makes BTLIFE different is the mix of voices. We’re bringing together lenders, landlords, tax specialists and operational experts to give brokers a genuinely holistic view of the challenges and opportunities ahead. It’s about helping advisers think differently, ask better questions, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for their clients."

Adrian Moloney, group intermediary director at OSB Group, added: "The investor finance market continues to evolve at pace, with increasing crossover between buy-to-let, bridging and more specialist funding solutions. Events like BTLIFE are important because they reflect that shift, giving advisers the broader perspective they need to structure deals more effectively and support clients across the full lifecycle of their investments." 

Steve Cox, chief commercial officer at Fleet Mortgages, said: "What’s particularly exciting about BTLIFE is its willingness to go beyond the usual conversations. Bringing in voices from the landlord community and wider sector gives brokers a much richer understanding of the environment their clients are operating in. That kind of insight is invaluable and something we’re really pleased to support."

David Whittaker, CEO of Keystone Property Finance, commented: "The buy-to-let market remains a key opportunity for advisers, but it’s also becoming more nuanced. Having a dedicated event in a central location like Birmingham, focused on education and practical insight, is incredibly important in helping brokers stay informed, confident and ready to support their clients effectively."
