Just Mortgages Celebrates 10 Years of Self-Employed Adviser Division

Just Mortgages has marked the 10th anniversary of its self-employed division, highlighting a decade of steady growth and ongoing investment in support for advisers. The division was established to give mortgage advisers the freedom to run their own businesses while benefiting from the backing of a national brokerage.

The company reports that self-employed advisers now make up almost 75% of its adviser headcount. Just Mortgages has stated plans to expand the division to more than 1,000 advisers nationwide. Since 2016, the firm has invested in expanding its management team and enhancing support for advisers at all career stages, including day-to-day assistance with sales, marketing, compliance, and access to ongoing training and specialist qualifications in areas such as equity release, commercial finance, and business protection.

Through its business principal programme, advisers are able to recruit and manage their own teams, with access to bespoke leadership training, recruitment support, and operational guidance from Just Mortgages. The company currently has more than 650 advisers across both its employed and self-employed divisions, making it one of the UK’s largest mortgage brokerages.

The self-employed division remains a central part of Just Mortgages’ long-term strategy, with continued investment in recruitment, adviser development, and business growth initiatives. Earlier this month, the Northern self-employed management team was expanded with the appointment of Claire Jopson as area director.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, the continued growth of self-employed mortgage advisers may signal ongoing changes in the property sector, with increased flexibility and support for professionals operating independently within established networks.
