Just Mortgages is giving its employed brokers the option to work from home if they have at least two years’ experience.

The national broker firm has a self-employed division through which advisers can already choose where they want to work.

The change applies to its employed division through which brokers normally work in Spicerhaart estate agency branches.

Employed advisers who choose to work from home will still receive leads from Spicerhaart colleagues.

Just Mortgages and Spicerhaart national operations director John Phillips says: “For brokers who would like more flexibility to manage their own schedules, this decision will be music to their ears. 

“The pandemic has opened up a lot of eyes to the potential of working from home, and we’re really confident this will help our brokers to continue to deliver exceptional service.

“Work/life balance is crucial in these trying times, and adding the option for brokers to work where they want gives them the flexibility to interact with clients in the most effective manner. 

“Clients have also given really positive feedback about working with our brokers remotely, and ultimately, that is the most important thing for us.

“There are those who will still want to return to the office, and some will want to conduct meetings in person, and we support the flexibility to decide. 

“The key for us is to empower our brokers to choose the right option for them and the client.”
