Mortgage Advisors
The latest research on the UK mortgage market has found the number of people buying for the first time who are using an advisor has increased – and the rise is considerable.
What this research by mortgage lender Aldermore reveals is that 64% of those buying for the first time in 2024 made use of an advisor. In comparison, the figure for last year was just 36%, which indicates a shift has taken place in the mindset of first-time buyers.
The Aldermore research also found that bringing in a mortgage advisor to help during the application process had produced positive results. 90% of those first-time buyers who took part in the survey said the experience had been a good one.
Among the reasons that they cited for that were the fact that the advisor had made the process easier to understand (42%), had assisted them in filling out the necessary forms (42%) and had represented their interests throughout (40%).
The majority of respondents also said that they had found mortgage advisors to be more affordable than anticipated. Jon Cooper from Aldermore told Financial Reporter that:
“Brokers are invaluable, not just for finding the best deals but also for guiding clients through a complicated and unfamiliar process.”
This will be welcome news to those looking for a CeMAP training company to get into the mortgage advice market.
