Access Financial Services (“Access FS”) today announced Q1 results for its mortgage division.
The first quarter of 2025 saw the brokerage’s mortgage arm post quarterly revenue up 43 per cent year on year.
Access FS said its advisers completed 14 per cent more loans than they did in the first quarter of 2024. The average loan size (ALS) rose by 13 per cent – meaning the total value of mortgage business completed rose by 29 per cent, a £17.2m increase.
Nick Jones, the mortgage sales and marketing director at Access FS, said: “Today Access FS’s mortgage division is reporting its best ever quarter, with revenue up 43 per cent from a year ago.
“Growth has been driven internal and external factors. Growth in our adviser community has been a strong contribution to these results alongside industry recognition and enhancements to our proposition. We recently introduced an internal referral initiative, ‘Access All Areas’, we’ve started rolling out individual microsites for each of our advisers as well and we’ve grown our mentorship programme. This has helped our advisers grow by encouraging them to collaborate even more.”
Additionally, Access FS revealed a 32 per cent increase in adviser numbers and said Q1 procuration fees (“proc fees”) were up 37 per cent year on year.
Nick Jones said: “Advisers are choosing to join Access FS not just for our enhanced support, but because they want a firm that truly supports every stage of their financial services career. Whether you’re newly qualified and looking for lead generation, growing your team through recruitment, or planning your eventual exit with the security of a retainer, our proposition is designed to flex around you. We’re a dynamic and innovative business, and that makes our offering a compelling one.”
“Now we’re looking ahead to Q2 and a renewed push further into the specialist finance space – watch this space. Company revenues rose by 46 per cent last year and we are making some big appointments to ensure we keep growing at that sort of pace.
Looking at current trading and the damage to world trade from Donald Trump’s tariffs, Nick Jones concluded: “We’re already seeing another driver of growth for us in Q2; renewed interest in property as an investment class. People are rightly nervous about the state of global stock markets in the face of an international trade war. Trading over the last couple of weeks suggests risk-averse investors might be embracing property to avoid carnage in the equity markets.”
