It varies by firm. Some mortgage brokers charge a fee for advice or arrangement, others are paid by commission from the lender instead, and some do both. UK rules require a broker to disclose how it's paid before you commit, so ask directly and compare before choosing.

What's the difference between a mortgage broker and a mortgage advisor?

In UK practice the terms are used interchangeably for a person or firm authorised to advise on and arrange regulated mortgage contracts. Neither term alone indicates whether a firm is independent (whole-of-market) or tied to a limited panel of lenders -- ask, or check the firm's own disclosure.
