Editorial Standards

Mortgages are one of the biggest financial commitments most people make, so it matters where the information on this site comes from. This page sets out what we publish, where it comes from, what we deliberately don't claim, and how to tell us when something is wrong.

What this site is

Mortgage Brokers List is a directory of UK companies in mortgage and related financial services, with free calculators and guides. We are not a broker, a lender or a financial adviser, we are not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, and nothing here is a personal recommendation.

Where our information comes from

• Company names, addresses, classification codes and incorporation dates: the Companies House Free Company Data Product, under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
• Broker profiles (phone, website, services, FCA reference or network): the firm's own website. We only publish a profile when that website shows the company's Companies House number, so the details are matched to the right company.
• House prices on town pages: the UK House Price Index (HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, Land & Property Services Northern Ireland and the Office for National Statistics), under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
• Tax figures: GOV.UK guidance for Stamp Duty Land Tax and Lifetime ISAs.
• Lending rules: the FCA Handbook (MCOB) and the Bank of England.

Pages that rely on policy figures show the date they were last checked.

Who gets listed

Only firms with evidence that they arrange mortgages: their own website mentions mortgage services (identity matched by the Companies House number shown on it), or their registered name contains "mortgage", "home loans" or "equity release" and they have filed accounts. Each listing says which kind of evidence it has. A Companies House classification code alone is never enough, because the same codes are used by insurance agents, payment firms and many other businesses.

What we leave out

Everything without evidence of mortgage work, including dormant companies, holding and investment companies, and firms whose website or name shows a different business such as insurance or payments. Town pages with fewer than three listed firms stay available to visitors but are marked so search engines don't index them.

What we don't do

• We don't verify whether a firm is currently authorised by the FCA. Every listing links to the FCA's own register so you can check.
• We don't recommend any broker, lender or product. Being listed is free, and firms can't pay to be listed or to appear higher. See How we're paid.
• We don't collect or publish reviews of our own. Where a firm's website displays a rating, its profile may repeat it, labelled as the firm's own statement and not our assessment.
• We don't copy other directories. Their listings belong to them.

How these pages are produced

Broker profiles, town pages and region pages are generated by software from the sources listed above, using fixed page templates. The software matches each firm to its Companies House record, reads the firm's own website, and applies the listing rules on this page. Profiles are not written or edited one by one: the wording around the facts is the same template on every profile, and only the facts differ. The software checks the identity match, the dates of the data and the structure of each page. A person sets the rules and templates, chooses the data sources and checks samples of the generated pages after each rebuild, but does not review every profile. Guides and calculators are written and checked by a person.

A profile that has fewer than two facts from the firm's own website (a phone number, a Firm Reference Number or appointed-representative network, a service it mentions) stays available to visitors but is, as a rule, marked so search engines don't index it. Ratings that appear on a few profiles are the firm's own statements, copied from its website and labelled as such. We don't publish the names of people with significant control of a company.
