Mortgage Brain has reported that over 55,000 consumer downloads of its mobile app, UKMortgages, have taken place since its launch last year, resulting in the app being accessed and used over 400,000 times.

The firm also claimed that it has delivered thousands of ‘real’ leads to brokers, free of charge, with broker contact details being viewed many tens of thousands of times.

Mark Lofthouse, CEO of Mortgage Brain, said: “The on-going success of UKMortgages is outstanding. The app is the UK’s most comprehensive mortgage search, compare and review mobile application available, which, as well having a major impact among consumers, is providing great visibility and exposure for brokers listed on the app’s Find A Broker function.

“More importantly, however, is the fact that more and more leads are being put through to brokers at no cost whatsoever and new and on-going sales opportunities continue to be generated.”

Available free-of-charge on the iPhone, iPad and Android devices, UKMortgages allows homebuyers to conduct high level mortgage searches (broker products only), use a range of mortgage calculators, and then, through its ‘Find A Broker’ facility, use GPS navigation to show and provide contact details for the nearest broker.

All brokers who use Mortgage Brain’s mortgage sourcing system are entitled to be promoted within the Find A Broker section at no charge and all leads and enquiries are passed on, again at no charge.
