The results from our latest Broker Beat survey – thanks to those of you who took part and raised over £500 for charity in the process – shine a positive light on the UK’s specialist lending landscape.

While the spectre of Brexit looms large, our latest poll of brokers finds an industry that’s bucking the general trend, as you post improved confidence scores year-on-year and tell us that ‘specialist’ business is anything but – in fact, it’s pretty much the new normal.

Key findings:

• 73% feel confident about the specialist mortgage market’s prospects over the next 12 months – up 12% from previous year
• 47% expect to see more business from specialist customers, suggesting that ‘specialist’ business is mainstream
