Connect’s Referral service is ideal for Advisers or Introducers without the required permissions, knowledge, or time to advise clients directly. This service allows you to help more clients while earning a share of commission without regulatory responsibility for advice. A Connect adviser can recommend solutions to your client from all lenders Connect works with, not just Connect’s packaged lenders. When you refer a client, you receive a share of commission from the lender and fees paid by the client.
We’ll explain the commission structure and process in detail before contacting your referred client for further assistance. Connect for Intermediaries is proud to be a Legal & General Ignite partner, trusted to handle broker referrals. As one of the select companies chosen, Connect supports Legal & General Mortgage Club members by professionally managing client referrals.

A packager, also called a specialist distributor, helps place complex cases by offering access to exclusive products, criteria, and lenders. They are commonly used by new lenders entering the market to test products or handle high enquiry volumes efficiently.
Connect for Intermediaries charges a commitment fee only after the client agrees to proceed with a formal application. If better lending options exist outside their panel, they inform the adviser, promoting trust and long-term relationships through transparency.
At Connect, we partner with over 55 lenders, offering a wide range of mortgage products, including Buy-to-Let (BTL), Commercial, Bridging Finance, Residential Finance, and Second Charges. Our dedicated Specialist Placement Team provides comprehensive support across the whole market, helping you navigate even the most challenging cases. Contact us anytime for assistance.
Access to an Extensive Lender Network
Our support team does far more than rely on a packaging panel. With access to over 200 lenders and providers across the market, we explore every possible option to secure the most suitable outcome for your client.

Full Packaging Support While You Stay in Control
We manage the administration, packaging, and presentation of the application, ensuring it is submitted in the strongest possible position. You retain complete client ownership and control throughout the process. Our role is to support you in securing the correct lending solution while you remain the primary adviser. For more information, visit our mortgage packaging support for brokers page.
Exclusive Products and Specialist Lending Criteria
Our established relationships with lenders often give us access to exclusive mortgage products, updates to underwriting criteria, and enhanced underwriting routes that advisers cannot obtain directly. This includes specialist and emerging lenders who prefer to distribute through trusted packaging partners. Visit our Specialist lending for more information.
You Keep All the Broker Commission
You retain the full lender procuration fee on every case. Lenders pay us directly for marketing, distribution, and administrative support, ensuring your commission is unaffected. Payments are released within three working days of receipt from the lender.
