Twenty7tec
Simplify, streamline and digitise financial services.
We work with some of the most recognisable firms in financial services, from mortgage and wealth advisers to lenders, providers, and technology partners.
What are advisers actually searching for when a mortgage case isn’t straightforward? 🔍🏡 Our August data gives us an interesting view into the circumstances advisers are navigating every day. September data will be released in the next few days...
👥 Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor was the most searched-for criteria area
🌍 Visa applicants and foreign nationals followed closely behind
📋 Satisfied defaults also featured in the top five
🎂 Alongside maximum age at the end of the mortgage term
These aren’t simply unusual cases sitting at the edges of the market. They show the range of circumstances advisers are regularly working with and why understanding lender criteria has become such an important part of finding the right mortgage.
Because finding the right option for a client isn’t just about finding a rate. It’s about understanding their individual circumstances and finding the right fit. 💡

A few inspirational words from our CEO James Tucker 💡
"What falling off my chair taught me about B2B sales. 📈💼
Last week, I made the strategic decision to lean back slightly too far in my office chair.
The market responded immediately. 📉
No warning. No lengthy sales cycle. No opportunity to pivot. No stakeholder consultation.
One minute I was CEO of Twenty7tec. The next, I was on the floor behind a water cooler. 👍
But as I lay there, looking up at the ceiling and reconsidering 20+ years of business decisions, I realised there were some important lessons here for B2B sales:
1️⃣ Never get too comfortable.
2️⃣ Lean too heavily in one direction and eventually something gives.
3️⃣ Momentum is brilliant until you can’t control it. 📈➡️📉
4️⃣ Always surround yourself with people willing to tell you when you’re making a questionable decision.
5️⃣ When things go wrong, get back up, learn from it and move on.
6️⃣ Most importantly, before doing any of the above, check whether the Marketing team has a camera. 📸
They did.
No CEO was harmed in the making of this LinkedIn thought leadership.
My dignity, however, remains under review.
"
Residential remortgage searches were 11% higher than the same month last year, with 616,150 searches recorded across Twenty7tec in August.
That’s despite activity falling 12% compared with July. So, while the usual summer slowdown was visible month on month, the year-on-year picture tells another story.
Existing homeowners are still actively reviewing their mortgage options, making the remortgage conversation an important one for advisers, particularly for clients approaching the end of their current deal. 💬

The mortgage journey doesn’t stop once a product has been recommended. 🏡
Applications can remain in progress for weeks or even months, and a lot can change in that time. Rates can move, products can be withdrawn and lending criteria can change. 📈
That’s changing the role technology can play in mortgage advice. It’s no longer just about helping advisers find the right product at a single point in time. It can also help them stay informed about what happens afterwards.
ADAPT monitors recommended products from sourcing through to submission, alerting advisers to relevant rate, fee and criteria changes along the way. 🔔
Because what happens after the recommendation matters too. 💚 https://www.twenty7tec.com/adapt/
August was quieter for mortgage searches, but the headline number doesn’t tell the whole story. 📊🏡
Twenty7tec recorded more than 1.5 million mortgage searches during the month, down 13% compared with July. Look at the market year on year, however, and the picture is more resilient.
📈 Total mortgage searches were 1% higher than August 2025
🏠 Residential searches were up 3% year on year
Month-on-month movements are important, but they’re only one part of the picture. Looking at the wider trends helps us understand what’s really happening across the mortgage market.

Another round of Mortgage Jargon Buster 🏡📖
From tie-in periods to remortgaging and unencumbered properties, mortgage terminology can sometimes sound more complicated than it needs to be.
So, we’re breaking down some of the language you’re likely to come across in the mortgage world into simple, straightforward explanations. 💡
👉 Swipe through for this week’s three terms.
What piece of mortgage jargon should we bust next? 👇
🤝 Sometimes the best thing you can do for a client is point them somewhere else.
In this ELEVATE clip, we explore why putting the customer first can sometimes mean recognising when someone else is better placed to help them, even if that means recommending a competitor.
Because building a great business isn’t always about keeping every opportunity for yourself. It’s about doing the right thing for the client, building trust and thinking about the relationship for the long term.
