What are the key regulatory obligations for mortgage intermediaries in the UK?

Mortgage intermediaries operating in the UK are subject to a comprehensive set of FCA regulatory obligations, including FCA authorisation, affordability assessment requirements, responsible lending standards, anti-money laundering controls, data protection obligations, Consumer Duty, and requirements around the management of Appointed Representative frameworks. Maintaining accurate and transparent records is also a core regulatory expectation for all mortgage intermediaries.

Consumer Duty requires mortgage intermediaries to demonstrate that their advice process delivers fair value, that customers receive clear and transparent information throughout the mortgage journey, and that vulnerable customers are identified and supported appropriately. Firms must embed Consumer Duty into their advice frameworks, customer communications, and governance structures, with board-level oversight of customer outcomes across all mortgage products and services.

Managing an Appointed Representative framework introduces significant additional compliance obligations for principal firms, who are responsible for ensuring their ARs meet FCA conduct standards, maintain appropriate training and competence, and comply with financial promotions rules and Consumer Duty requirements. Robust oversight, monitoring, and governance frameworks are essential to managing the compliance risks inherent in AR networks effectively.

Mortgage intermediaries are subject to strict anti-money laundering obligations, including customer due diligence requirements, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, and the maintenance of robust AML policies and procedures. Given the significant sums involved in property transactions, the mortgage sector is a key area of financial crime risk, making rigorous AML controls a regulatory and commercial priority.

Cosegic combines deep sector expertise with regulatory insight to empower mortgage intermediaries with high-performing compliance processes, procedures, and frameworks. Whether seeking new FCA authorisations, adjusting existing permissions, managing AR frameworks, or navigating the complexities of Consumer Duty and AML obligations, our experts translate complex rules into clear, practical actions that reduce risk and preserve a positive customer experience.
