ENTRY PROCESS

If you work within the UK mortgage industry, you are eligible to self-nominate, have your say and cast your vote. The nominations and judging process has been further improved to ensure that only the very best in the business are recognised as Mortgage Strategy award winners. The details of this complex process are outlined below.

Please ensure you read our Entry Rules & Guidelines and FAQs before you get started.

Please note that the self-nomination and voting stages are now closed for 2025.

STAGE 1:  SELF-NOMINATIONS


Firms from within the UK mortgage industry are invited to put themselves forward for consideration in the industry vote by completing a short form.

Please note: only one self-nomination per company is required.

Subject to approval from the Mortgage Strategy  editorial team, firms will be taken forward to the next stage - the industry vote.

SELF-NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

STAGE 2: INDUSTRY VOTE


The entire UK mortgage industry is given the opportunity to have their say and cast their vote for their top firms of 2024 or nominate any firms not already on the list.

Voters can have their say in as many categories as they’d like.

Companies are welcome to vote for themselves but only one internal vote per company will be counted towards the final total.

VOTING HAS NOW CLOSED.

STAGE 3: ENTRY FORMS


All votes are thoroughly reviewed by the Mortgage Strategy editorial team.

The firms with the highest number of votes in each category are selected to become our longlist.

Longlisted firms are then invited to submit entry forms.


STAGE 4: JUDGING


Our expert panels of industry judges review all entry forms, and their scores and comments create our shortlist. 

Shortlisted brokers and distributors are then invited to attend a short video interview with our judges. Interview times will be communicated in advance. 

Shortlisted lender and provider entries are debated by an industry panel who will decide the winners.
