The European loan broker market has grown rapidly in recent years. This is due to several factors, including increased financial awareness, a variety of borrowing requirements, and a greater variety of loan products available. The growth of the European loan broker market can be attributed to several reasons, such as the need for specialist financial advice, outsourcing of loan search procedures, and the demand for attractive loan terms. Regulatory compliance, competition in the market, and the ever-changing digital environment are also factors that have contributed to the growth of the Europe loan broker market. 

Loan brokers are diversifying their services to meet consumer needs, from personal loans to mortgages and auto loans to small business loans. The European loan brokers market is being affected by regulatory changes that seek to improve consumer safety, transparency, and fairness in lending. To maintain trust and trustworthiness, brokers must remain compliant with ever-changing regulations.

In fact, mortgage brokers in many of the world’s largest markets are responsible for a surprising amount of home loan origination. For example, brokers in the Netherlands account for about 60% of all home loan originations, while brokers in Australia account for about 70%. In the UK, it’s even higher at 75%. (Another type of intermediary, online aggregators, are also becoming increasingly important in the loan origination process by providing customers with transparency and competitive support.)

United Kingdom is Dominating the Market

In 2021, the mortgage lending market was booming in the United Kingdom. Gross lending increased 26% over 2020, when pandemic restrictions had a significant negative impact on lending, to GBP 308.5 billion. Yet it was also 15% more than the GBP 269.0 billion in 2019.

While slightly rising to 2.11% from 2.00% in 2020, the average mortgage interest rate stayed below the average of 2.25% in 2019. In response to the pandemic, the base rate was decreased in March 2020 from 0.75% to 0.10%. When more lenders priced in the extra risk or pulled these products off the market, mortgage interest rates first rose, especially at larger LTVs (over 75%).
