The move aims to expand the company’s mortgage and financial services offerings
Property technology business OneDome has announced its acquisition of mortgage advisory firm Albany Park from Hatbox Group, subject to approval by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Albany Park provides tailored mortgage advice and financial planning support, and is now expected to bring its industry expertise and established client base into OneDome’s ecosystem.
Through the acquisition, OneDome – which already owns Nethouseprices, Contractor Wealth Management and CMME Mortgage and Protection – plans to integrate Albany Park’s services, giving clients access to a broader range of mortgage options and financial planning resources. The move, OneDome said, aligns with its goal of creating a stress-free experience for homebuyers.
“We are thrilled to welcome Albany Park Mortgages to the OneDome family,” said Babek Ismayil (pictured), chief executive of OneDome. “This acquisition enhances our ability to deliver seamless mortgage solutions to customers while offering greater choice and convenience.
“With Albany Park Mortgages’ expertise, we continue to push forward in our goal of transforming the homebuying journey and setting a new standard in the industry.”
Steve Whatley, founder of Albany Park, said his firm is now shifting its focus on a new brand, Cignpost Insurance, which will specialise in health and protection services.
“We are very pleased to have found such a suitable home for Albany Park Mortgages and its mortgage advisers,” Whatley stated. “I am confident that the combined power of OneDome and Albany Park Mortgages will lead to great things in the future.”
