Mortgage brokers are bigger than you think

When you say the phrase mortgage broker UK customers tend to think of a one-man firm, but brokers can be very big firms indeed. Many big-name lenders offer a range of mortgages from different companies, and some brokers are backed by reputable firms.

When it comes to choosing a mortgage broker UK customers are spoilt for choice: there are hundreds of firms including big-name operations, commercial mortgage brokers and brokers that specialise in adverse credit mortgages.

Although many brokers are small businesses which is perhaps the reason behind the one-man band thinking many of them are huge organisations. Today, even banks resell other firms' products. For example, while it's not strictly a mortgage broker, when you apply for a mortgage with Barclays bank, it's actually provided by the Woolwich.
