It’s that time of year again when the much-anticipated shortlists for the annual Mortgage Strategy Awards – this year in partnership with conveybuddy – are revealed.

There’s no doubt that the year has provided many challenges for the mortgage market. Despite Bank base rates easing inflation fears persist as geopolitical factors play out.

But the industry is nothing if not resilient – product innovation has helped to tackle first time buyer affordability. And brokers through their expert guidance, often dealing with complex situations in a changing regulatory landscape, have supported clients and once again proved their worth.

There is much to praise – and Mortgage Strategy would like to say a huge congratulations to all those firms and individuals on the shortlist, which you can find here.

James Prosser, commercial director at Mortgage Strategy, commented:

“This year marks a real step forward for the Mortgage Strategy Awards. With a new venue, a refreshed direction and a number of new categories that better reflect the innovation, technology and progress shaping today’s mortgage and protection market, the response has been phenomenal.

“We’ve seen an incredible volume of entries and an exceptionally high calibre of submissions, making the judging process highly competitive. It’s a powerful reflection of the resilience, ambition and professionalism across the industry. Congratulations to every firm and individual who has made the shortlist.”

Thank you to all our event sponsors and everyone who took the time to both enter, and to cast votes for the firms you feel delivered exceptionally high standards.

If you haven’t booked your table for the best night in the mortgage calendar yet, you can do so here.

A massive well done to every one of our finalists this year, we look forward to seeing you on the big night.
