An alert system has been launched today by Mortgage Metrics which alerts brokers when the mortgage rates that they have secured for their clients has reduced. Brokers can set up the alerts for as many mortgage rates as they want without having to share client information. The platform automatically scans rate reductions across a range of products from mainstream lenders, sending notifications when the relevant rate drops. The system was created by mortgage brokers Lee Flavin and Chris Evans, who created the idea following the mini-Budget in 2022. The launch also coincides with the introduction of the mortgage charter, allowing for brokers and homeowners to be helped through the process by automation.
