Countrywide is the UKs largest mortgage broker, and in 2017, we completed on £17.7bn of mortgages.
We have a dedicated network of nearly 500 mortgage and protection consultants operating under the Countrywide Mortgage Services brand who are based throughout the UK. They have access to 1,000s of mortgage schemes from our panel of lenders, which include most of the major high street and specialist lenders. AXA and AVIVA provide our insurance and protection products.
In addition, we own The Buy to Let Business, our specialist business in the buy to let sector, who now also handles all customers who wish to transact by telephone. The business has experienced growth from both its strong existing customer relationships and reputation in the buy to let market, as well as from new telephony referrals from our sales and lettings branch network.
We also own the hugely successful Mortgage Intelligence (MI) business which operates a network and club for third party appointed representatives (AR) and directly appointed (DA) mortgage brokers respectively. MI provides regulatory oversight for sales made by the network and assists both the network and the club through arranging mortgage and insurance deals with our panels of lenders and insurance providers. Capital Private Finance and Slater Hogg Mortgages are other Countrywide brands that also operate under this model.
