The Right Mortgage & Protection Network has announced strong quarterly year-on-year growth across its core business lines covering Q1 2026, with increases in lending, protection and general insurance activity compared to the same three-month period in 2025.
Mortgage lending rose by 25% year-on-year, while protection business increased by 12%. General insurance also delivered a solid performance, up by 17% over the same period.
Following a record year for private medical insurance (PMI) in 2025, the network has continued to see momentum in this area, with PMI business up by 8% in Q1.
Overall, total lending income across the network increased by 21% compared to Q1 2025, reflecting both higher activity levels and continued adviser engagement with a broad range of products.
The network now supports 882 advisers across its UK-wide membership.
Commenting on the latest figures The Right Mortgage & Protection Network chief executive Martin Wilson 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amount of business was brought forward to March in order that advisers could access products and rates before they were withdrawn.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.”
