L&C Mortgages has submitted its millionth mortgage application, a milestone that the broker described as a testament to more than 25 years of work with colleagues and lender partners.
The millionth application was submitted to Barclays last week. To celebrate, the firm is inviting customers to share their stories of how advice has supported them, with one entrant set to win the equivalent of three months’ mortgage payments. Staff will also take part in the Circuit of Bath walk, aiming to collectively reach one million steps in aid of Julian House, a charity supporting vulnerable people experiencing homelessness.
Mark Harrington, chief executive officer at L&C Mortgages, said: “We’re blown away to have hit one million applications and it’s testament to the hard work of our colleagues, both past and present, and our strong partnerships with lenders right across the market. All without charging a broker fee.
“However, we’re acutely aware that the advice that L&C colleagues give to customers each day carries meaning far beyond the big numbers. It’s the impact that it has on those customers and their lives, whether it’s making homeownership a reality or by cutting the biggest monthly household bill by hundreds of pounds.
“That’s why we want to celebrate the difference that our advice has already made to so many and how important each story is, as we look forward to helping many more on a fee free basis in the years to come.”
Roland McCormack, head of intermediaries at Barclays, said: “This incredible milestone demonstrates how strongly L&C’s approach has resonated in the market. I’m proud that Barclays has been a partner of L&C’s for over 25 years, a true testament to the deep relationships we build with intermediaries, and I’m excited to continue this journey together for many years to come.”
