About

News, data and plain-English analysis for brokers, introducers and lenders in UK specialist lending.

Last updated 16 October 2026

What we do

Lending Intelligence covers second-charge mortgages, bridging, later-life lending, regulation and the lenders who work in them. We lead with the figures: every number we publish names its source and its period, and we link to the original.

We also run the Secured Loan Index, which compiles the Finance & Leasing Association's monthly second-charge figures with Bank of England rates. The Index has its own site at securedloanindex.co.uk.

Who it's for

Professional intermediaries: mortgage and finance brokers, introducers, packagers, networks and lenders. It is information, not advice, and it isn't written for consumers choosing a loan.

How we work

We don't run display advertising. Sponsored content, when we carry it, is labelled “Sponsored” everywhere it appears and never touches the data desk. Our editorial and AI policy and sponsorship policy set out the rules.

The Brief, our weekly email, is free. Sign up here.

Who we are

Lending Intelligence is published by Lending Intelligence Ltd.

Ownership and relationships

Lending Intelligence is independently owned. It has no ownership link with any business we write about.

Lending Intelligence Ltd also runs the Secured Loan Index. Its figures come from the FLA and the Bank of England and are reproduced as published, and we say that we run the Index whenever we report on it.

We run labelled promotions for Archway, a mortgage CRM from Archway Software. Archway Software has no ownership or commercial link with us, and the promotions aren't paid for. Our editorial policy sets out how we handle both.

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
