Thinking of Leaving Your Mortgage Network? 7 Signs It’s Time

Are You Feeling Unhappy With Your Mortgage Network?

If you’re starting to feel frustrated with your current mortgage network, you’re not alone. Many mortgage and protection advisers reach a point where they ask themselves: “Is it time to leave my network?” Whether it’s lack of support, slow compliance turnaround, or poor technology, these issues can hold back your business.

Here are 7 common signs it may be time to switch mortgage networks and how HLPartnership could be the right move for you.

1. Compliance Bottlenecks Are Slowing You Down

Waiting days for case file reviews? Receiving inconsistent compliance feedback?
If you’re constantly chasing your network just to get business over the line, it’s more than an inconvenience it’s a barrier to growth.

HLPartnership’s award-winning compliance support is structured to give you clear guidance, consistent standards, and timely responses, so you can serve clients confidently. Firms are allocated compliance review officers and regional compliance managers.

2. You Feel Like Just a Number

Do you get personal support when you need it, or feel like you’re lost in the crowd?
Many advisers find their network stops listening once they’ve joined. But your business deserves more than just a login and a monthly fee.

We believe in real relationships, not box-ticking. With HLP, our ARs know their dedicated point of contact and we know them.

3. You’re Paying More but Getting Less

If your fees have gone up, but your level of support hasn’t, it’s worth asking whether you’re still getting value. Networks should earn their share by helping you grow.

HLPartnership offers competitive fees with true added value including bespoke marketing support, bespoke tech tools, and proactive field management.

4. Tech That Feels Like It’s Stuck in 2010

Tech should save you time and improve your client experience, not cause more admin. At HLPartnership, we invest heavily in our own integrated technology, built around the needs of our members and their clients to improve efficiency.

5. You Want More Autonomy

Some networks can feel overly restrictive by putting rules before results. If you’re looking to shape your business your way, a more flexible environment could unlock your potential.

HLP supports entrepreneurial advisers who want freedom within a framework which empowers you to grow your firm while staying fully compliant.

6. You’re Not Growing Like You Could Be

Your network should help you expand your reach, whether that’s through marketing, protection penetration, or new business development.

At HLPartnership, our members benefit from:

  • Lead nurturing tools
  • Client retention campaigns
  • Dedicated protection coaching
  • Access to GI, later life lending, and business development support

7. You’ve Lost Confidence in the Leadership

Culture starts at the top. If your current network’s leadership is reactive, uninspiring, or invisible, it may be time to look elsewhere.

At HLPartnership, we’re led by an experienced team focused on adviser success with transparent communication, a future-proof tech roadmap, and genuine long-term vision.

What to Consider Before Moving

Leaving your network is a big decision. Here’s what you should weigh up:

  • Exit fees: Does your contract have penalties?
  • Notice periods: Are there any time constraints?
  • System switchover: How easy is data migration?
  • FCA considerations: Will your network help with reauthorisation?
  • Support gap: Will your new network support you during the transition?

At HLP, we’ve onboarded hundreds of advisers from other networks and will guide you every step of the way.

“I’m Really Pleased I Joined HLP”

“I’d heard so many good things about HLP that I had to find out more and I’m really pleased I did. The support through the transition was fantastic, the CRM is already making a real difference to how we work, and having our own dedicated compliance reviewer is a level of service I’ve never had before. The support hasn’t stopped and it’s only got better.”
