Mortgage Finance Brokers (MFB) is among the UK’s most distinguished specialist independent mortgage brokerage. The company guides businesses and individual investors through the complex landscape of mortgage lending. Known for tailored solutions and a client-centric approach, MFB ensures its services meet the unique financial objectives of its clients.
Mortgage Finance Brokers has a rich history that dates back more than thirty years, marking its inception as a pioneer in the UK's mortgage brokerage sector. Over the years, MFB has expanded its scope and refined its services, adapting to evolving customer needs.
The company started with a strong focus on building client trust and delivering tailored mortgage advice. These goals remain at the heart of their operations today. Throughout its history, MFB has shown dedication to excellence, innovation, and a deep understanding of the mortgage market. This has enabled the firm to thrive and become a leader in the industry.
MFB was formerly known as Mortgages for Business. The company rebranded into Mortgage Finance Brokers in January 2024. The firm says the rebrand symbolises its expansion, going beyond offering mortgage solutions for businesses. The company, however, retained its MFB acronym and logo.
Mortgage Finance Brokers offers a range of products and services catering to different types of borrowers, including:
buy-to-let mortgages: customised financing for property investors
commercial mortgages: solutions for buying or refinancing commercial properties
homebuyer mortgages: specialised support for first-time buyers and those moving home
short-term finance: options such as bridging loans and development finance
landlord insurance: comprehensive insurance coverage for property owners
conveyancing: efficient legal services for property transactions
Mortgage Finance Brokers fosters a culture of integrity, client focus, and innovation. At MFB, these values influence everyday operations and interactions with clients and team members. The firm prioritises creating an inclusive environment where diverse ideas and perspectives are celebrated.
This culture of inclusivity and respect drives employee engagement and satisfaction. This is evident in their proactive approach to career development and ongoing training. MFB's commitment to "doing the right thing" extends beyond internal operations to how they interact with clients. It aims to provide transparent and honest advice tailored to each client's unique circumstances.
