MAB reveals new record mortgage lending figures

The Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) has announced its mortgage lending for last year hit a new record high, despite overall UK economic uncertainty.

MAB achieved a mortgage lending total of £32 billion for 2025, which represents a rise of 23% on the total for the year before. It is also the highest lending total for a single year the company has ever posted. This impressive figure is not the only eye-catching one that MAB has revealed either – as last year also saw it boost the number of mortgage advisors it works with.

It grew its advisor ranks by 10% over the course of the year, with much of this likely to have been necessary. With lending booming, MAB naturally needs more advisors to be able to cope with the rising workload.

Last year proved to be a bumper one for the lender in terms of the amount of revenue generated for each advisor too. This went up by 13% in comparison with 2024.

Peter Brodnicki is the chief executive of MAB. He said to Mortgage Strategy last year had been a banner one for the company. He then continued by saying:

“Our model is built around empowering high-quality firms to grow their businesses, and this latest milestone is a powerful demonstration of what that partnership can achieve.”

Brodnicki finished by saying MAB would continue to assist its partner companies to attract more advisors this year, so they could accomplish their goals.

There are lots of career opportunities now for people who have the CeMAP qualification.
