Broker Membership – Join a Mortgage Network That Works.  Connect for Intermediaries is a dynamic, FCA-authorised mortgage network helping appointed representatives and directly authorised brokers succeed across the UK. As we expand into the residential mortgage market, we’re welcoming new broker members who want flexibility, full compliance support, and access to an unrivalled lender panel.

Whether you’re a specialist in buy-to-let, commercial mortgages, or transitioning into residential advising, our network provides the foundation to grow and thrive in 2021 and beyond.

Expanding Opportunities for Broker Members

Connect for Intermediaries is entering the residential space with bold ambitions:

• Attract 80 new broker members

• Substantially increase mortgage volumes

• Offer end-to-end support across both specialist and residential sectors

We’ve doubled our office space and welcomed six new team members to ensure we’re ready to scale. This expansion supports our long-standing commitment to buy-to-let, bridging finance, and commercial lending—while embracing the fast-growing specialist residential sector.

Diversifying and Strengthening Our Adviser Network

As market needs evolve, Connect is actively diversifying its member base. We’re supporting both experienced advisers and those new to residential lending. From additional infrastructure to advanced tools, our strategy ensures that every member is equipped to respond to a shifting mortgage landscape.

If you’re just getting started, see our Adviser Mortgage Network for the Newly Qualified for tailored onboarding support.

A New Residential Proposition That Puts Brokers in Control

Led by CEO Liz Syms, our new residential proposition gives broker members greater autonomy over client cases. You can now handle residential mortgage applications, including capital raising for buy-to-let investments, independently, backed by our infrastructure.

This shift addresses feedback from our existing network, many of whom want more flexibility in managing residential transactions while maintaining access to a wide panel of over 80 lenders.

Our enhanced offer will be launched at The Specialist Lending Event in Birmingham and London this week.

Empowering Brokers With Tools, Tech, and Support

At Connect for Intermediaries, we’re combining deep expertise with modern tools. Here’s what our broker membership provides:

•  FCA compliance support and case-checking
•  Full administrative and back-office services
•  AI-powered mortgage sourcing and workflow tools
• CPD tracking and adviser development programs
• Live help desk and field-based relationship support
• Access to the Specialist Mortgage Network for complex cases

This robust ecosystem enables you to focus on what matters: serving your clients, growing your income, and building a resilient business.

Taking a Proactive Role in the Market

Historically known for reactive growth, Connect is now taking a proactive approach to adviser recruitment and product development. Our expanded residential offer reflects this new mindset, one that aligns with FCA expectations, Consumer Duty guidance, and increasing client demands.

We are committed to positioning ourselves as the network of choice for advisers who need control, credibility, and continuity.
