“September was a busier market than August, driven in no small part by the remortgage searches and particularly in the BTL market. The second half of the month saw increased numbers of ESIS documents prepared, setting new records – four of the seven busiest ever days. 

“We also saw the 100 millionth mortgage search on the platform, an incredible result in the ten years since we began business.

“Products variants hit a new high –  we now have more choice in the mortgage products market than ever previously available.”
