The idea

Mortgage enquiries that come to you first

Most mortgage brokers know where their work comes from: estate agents, solicitors, existing clients and the occasional recommendation. Those sources are valuable, but they are also fragile. An agent moves on, a referral partner changes its mind, or the market cools and the phone goes quiet. Meanwhile, every week, people in your area are searching Google for help with a mortgage.

Rank and rent gives you a source of enquiries you control. We build a website around the mortgage searches people make in your area, get it ranking, and set up the Google Business Profile and listings that go with it. Then we rent the site to one broker in your area for a set monthly fee. Every call and enquiry goes to you, and we do not rent the same site to a rival down the road.

There are no per-lead charges, no bidding and no sharing the enquiry with other brokers. You just answer the phone and do what you are good at.

What people search for

What people search for when they need a mortgage

People who search for mortgage help are usually at a clear moment: buying a home, coming off a fixed rate, or buying their first property. A ranked site is written around those moments.

“Mortgage broker near me”

The broadest local search, often from someone who wants a person rather than a comparison site.

“First time buyer mortgage advice”

Buyers who feel out of their depth and want somebody patient to explain the steps.

“Remortgage advice”

Homeowners whose fixed rate is coming to an end and who want to avoid a jump in their payments.

“Buy to let mortgage broker”

Landlords and investors, who often return for further purchases.

“Self employed mortgage”

Contractors and business owners who worry that lenders will not take their income seriously.

“Mortgage adviser in [your town]”

A direct local search from someone ready to book a conversation.

Why it works

Why rank and rent suits a mortgage brokerage

One client is worth more than one case

A buyer you help today often comes back to you when their deal ends, when they move, or when they buy another property. That lifetime value makes a set monthly fee easy to justify.

You are not racing other brokers

Comparison sites and lead resellers often sell one enquiry to several brokers. A rented site sends it to one brokerage only.

A second source of work

If you depend on estate agents and referral partners, a ranked website adds enquiries that do not depend on any one relationship.

A cost you can plan around

You pay the same amount each month, whatever the market is doing. You are not paying per click or per lead, so a slow month does not leave you out of pocket twice.

What you get

What your site would actually include

Because mortgage advice is regulated, the site is built to carry everything it should.

Pages for each type of client

First-time buyers, home movers, remortgages, buy-to-let and self-employed applicants, each written in plain English around the questions they really ask.

Your regulatory details

Space for your firm name, FCA number and permissions, and the repossession warning that mortgage promotions need, as agreed with you and, if you are an appointed representative, with your network.

A clear explanation of how you are paid

A simple section on fees and any lender commission, because people trust a broker who is upfront about it.

A simple way to book

A tracked phone number, a short enquiry form and an option to request a call back, all routed to you.

A Google Business Profile and reviews

Set up and active, with room for genuine client feedback, which matters a lot to anyone about to make the biggest purchase of their life.

A calm step-by-step guide

A plain explanation of the process from first chat to completion, so nervous buyers feel looked after before they call.

A simple example

Rank and rent, a simple example

Imagine you want to build a giant LEGO castle, but you need to borrow a lot of bricks from a bank, and there are lots of banks with different rules. You ask Google, “Who can help me find the best deal?”

We build a bright sign that says “Brick-borrowing helper, ask here” and put it at the top of the busiest street, where everyone looks first. That sign is the website.

You rent the sign from us for the same amount each month. Anyone who walks up to it talks to you, and only you. We keep the sign in the right place, and you help the people who come to find it.

Worth knowing

A few things to know before you rent

Mortgage advice is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and what you say on your website counts as a financial promotion. It has to be clear, fair and not misleading. We build the site with space for your FCA details and the required warnings, and we do not make claims about rates or approval that you cannot back up.

If you are an appointed representative of a network or principal firm, your principal will usually need to approve your website content before it goes live. Tell us early who needs to sign it off. A rented site is a website with a flat monthly fee, not a fee for each client sent to you, but you should still check with your compliance contact before you sign.

Rank and rent works best for brokers with the capacity to take on new clients and to respond quickly. Someone searching for a mortgage will often speak to more than one broker, and the first to call back usually gets the case.

What it costs

The set monthly fee depends on your area and how competitive it is. A big city, where many people search and several brokers are competing, will cost more than a small town. We give you one price when we check availability, with no per-lead charges.

Questions

Mortgage Brokers: straight answers

Can the site promise the best rates?–
No, and we would not write that. Rates and approval depend on each client’s circumstances, so we keep the wording clear, fair and in line with the rules for financial promotions.
I am an appointed representative. Is that a problem?+
Not at all. Your principal firm will usually need to approve the content first, so tell us at the start and we will build in the changes they ask for.
Do I own the website?+
No. We own, host and look after the site, and you rent the enquiries it generates. That is why the fee can be a set monthly amount and why you have nothing to maintain.
Can another broker in my town rent the same site?+
No. Each site has one tenant for its area.
How quickly will I get enquiries?+
The site is built and ranking before you rent it, so enquiries can start straight away. The number depends on how many people in your area search for mortgage help.
Is there a long contract?+
No long-term lock-in. Rentals run month to month with 30 days’ notice.
