The Right Mortgage & Protection Network has reported year-on-year growth across mortgage lending, protection, general insurance and private medical insurance in the first quarter of 2026.

Mortgage lending across the network rose by 25% compared with the same period in 2025, while protection business increased by 12%.

General insurance activity was up by 17% over the same period, while private medical insurance grew by 8%, following what the network described as a record year for PMI in 2025.

Total lending income across the network increased by 21% compared with Q1 2025, reflecting higher activity levels and continued adviser engagement across a range of products.

The network now supports 882 advisers across its UK-wide membership.

The Right Mortgage said the results built on the performance reported for 2025, when growth was recorded across all major product areas, supported by investment in adviser support, training and proposition development.

Martin Wilson, chief executive and founding director at The Right Mortgage & Protection Network, said: “The first quarter of 2026 has started in a positive way for the network, with growth across all key areas of the business.

“What’s particularly encouraging is this is not being driven by one single product line, but by advisers continuing to have wider conversations with clients and placing business across multiple areas.

“The increase in lending income shows that activity levels have been strong, although we are aware a certain amount of business was brought forward to March in order that advisers could access products and rates before they were withdrawn.

“However, at the same time our ongoing protection and general insurance growth underlines the continued focus on more rounded advice. We are also seeing private medical insurance maintain the pace set last year, which reflects growing client demand in that space.

“As a network, our focus remains on giving advisers the support, tools and access they need to write business across a range of areas, while making sure they can do so in a compliant and efficient way. These results suggest that approach is continuing to deliver.”
