Email Mortgages has developed a referral service for independent financial advisers who do not currently offer in-house mortgage advice but are looking for a mortgage intermediary partner.

The adviser is able to maintain control over their client knowing they are receiving whole of market mortgage advice. The service also provides the adviser with up-to-date information with regards to the process of the client’s case.

With the Email IFA referral service advisers introduce their client, with their full consent, to Email Mortgages. Once the introduction is made the clients are taken through the entire mortgage advice process online via email by one of Email Mortgages’ advisers.

Michael White , chief executive of Email Mortgages, said: “This year we have seen a noticeable increase in mortgage enquiries aided by a much more competitive mortgage market with lenders showing greater appetite to provide finance in a number of product areas. We are aware that significant numbers of IFAs do not currently provide mortgage advice through their firms and many are looking for professional partners to ensure they can service this increase in mortgage enquiries and maintain a full holistic service to their clients. Email Mortgages’ referral service allows us to work closely with the IFA firm to deliver a high quality service with no fee payable by the client. Email Mortgages also ensures that the introducing adviser is briefed at all stages of the mortgage process allowing them to be in the loop every step of the way.
