Mortgage Industry Professionals Urged to Complete 2026 ED&I Survey

Mortgage and protection industry professionals are being encouraged to complete the 2026 Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) Viewpoint survey before the deadline on Friday 29 May. The survey is delivered through Working in Mortgages, a joint initiative between the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) and the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA).

The 2026 survey aims to build on the findings of the 2021 ED&I Viewpoint survey, which provided an overview of the experiences of those working in the mortgage and protection industry. According to Working in Mortgages, the goal is to achieve meaningful change by gathering a wide range of perspectives from across the sector.

The survey is open to all professionals in the mortgage and protection industry, regardless of their role or level of experience. Working in Mortgages has emphasised that broad participation is essential to ensure the research accurately reflects the current state of the industry.

The findings from the survey are intended to inform future discussions and actions related to recruitment, career progression, workplace culture, and talent retention within the sector. The organisers have highlighted that the value and credibility of the survey's results depend on strong participation from industry professionals.

Letting agents and inventory clerks working within the mortgage and protection sector are encouraged to contribute their perspectives before the survey closes on 29 May.
