Mortgage Broker Broadcast ·

2026/04/07

Send us Fan Mail Q1 2026 didn’t just feel busy, it felt unstable. Inflation pushed up household bills, mortgage rates climbed, and lenders pulled products at speed. Many of us spent weeks calming anxious clients, racing to secure deals, and reacting to whatever changed that day. When business runs like that for long enough, firefighting becomes the default and the long term plan quietly disappears. We slow things down and do the work that actually creates momentum: a clear quarter one ...

2026/03/31

Send us Fan Mail CeMAP gives you a qualification. It doesn’t give you confidence in a first client meeting, a clean process for packaging a case, or a playbook for handling underwriters, lender criteria, and follow-ups when the pressure is on. That’s why we brought Ross McMillan back to The Mortgage Broker Broadcast to explain Fear Academy and why we built it inside Fair Financial for advisers who want to be truly self-employed and build a brokerage with their own brand. We talk honestly abo...

We start by demystifying indemnity: how two and four‑year pe...

How UK Lenders Use AI To Keep Mortgage Customers And...

Mortgage Broker Broadcast ·

2025/11/12

Send us a text A quiet revolution is reshaping mortgage retention in the UK: lenders now use AI to spot churn, price smarter, and send personalized offers long before a fixed rate ends.

Mortgage Broker Broadcast ·

2025/10/29

Send us a text The ground just shifted for UK mortgages, and the ripple effects will hit every broker-client relationship. The FCA has removed the automatic “advice trigger,” allowing consumers to receive personalised information and still choose execution-only—if they actively opt out of suitability protections. That sounds like frictionless choice, but it also raises the stakes on clarity, risk, and long-term fit. We dig into what this means for brokers and borrowers, and why the smartest r...
