On Thursday, 27th March 2025, The Access Bank UK Ltd hosted a highly anticipated Mortgage Roadshow at The Art Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos. The event welcomed over 100 guests, all keen to explore property investment opportunities in the UK and gain insights from industry experts.
The session began with a warm welcome from Johnson Ememandu, Head of Commercial Banking of The Access Bank UK Ltd. In his opening remarks, he introduced the Bank’s mission and objectives, setting the tone for the event’s theme, “Financing Your Investment.” Johnson outlined the Bank’s tailored property financing solutions and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting clients throughout their UK property investment journey.
Mr. Ola Akinboh of Brithomes followed with a presentation on how his firm assists clients in navigating property searches, management, and investment opportunities across the UK. He emphasised the importance of aligning property choices with investor goals and provided guidance on various property types.
Next, Juliet Benson of J. Benson Solicitors offered valuable insights into the UK conveyancing process. Her presentation covered essential legal aspects, including property searches, tax considerations, the role of solicitors, and the distinctions between leasehold and freehold ownership—particularly relevant for overseas investors.
A lively Q&A session allowed attendees to engage directly with the speakers, raising questions on refinancing, ownership structures, and the merits of personal versus company-led investments. The session was met with enthusiasm and active participation.
Julie Soyinka-Sonuga, Deputy Head of Commercial Banking of The Access Bank UK Ltd, delivered a heartfelt vote of thanks. She encouraged guests to stay connected with the Bank’s Lagos Representative Office for continued support.
