UK, February 10, 2016: UKMortgages, a mobile app which puts consumers in the driving seat when it comes to searching the UK mortgage market, is topping the charts as the most comprehensive and widely used mortgage search application for mobile devices.
Figures released today from app developer, Mortgage Brain, show that UKMortgages, which is free to download and use, has been accessed and used around 1.3 million times.
Available on the iPhone, iPad, Android platforms and Windows PCs and Windows Phone devices, UKMortgages is a powerful, fast and simple way to search through the thousands of mortgage products available in the UK and allows potential homebuyers to compare products, calculate the costs and the ‘find a broker’ to help them with the application process.
The app has become a popular financial services resource and has been singled out and promoted by software giant Microsoft for its availability on Windows devices.
Mark Lofthouse, CEO of UKMortgages, said: “A mortgage remains one of the single most important financial decisions many of us will make and with the number of mortgages available, varying rates, payment options and set-up fees, making the right decision can quickly become very confusing.
“UKMortgages, which has been used about 1.3million times, gives potential homebuyers and those wanting to remortgage the support and assistance they need and is designed to be fast, intuitive and simple to use.
“It allows homebuyers to conduct mortgage searches and gives them instant access to a range of mortgage calculators that help work out the costs associated with a mortgage or re-mortgage.
“Questions such as ‘how much can I borrow?’, ‘how much will it cost me?’, and ‘what if mortgage rates change’, for example, are all taken care of by the app.”
UKMortgages also provides users with the ability, via its unique ‘Find A Broker’ (FAB) function, to get in touch with a local UK qualified mortgage broker to help answer questions and progress mortgage applications.
