AI workflow assessment for UK mortgage brokers - HoursBack

AI workflow assessment for UK mortgage brokers - cut the document chasing and case admin.

We sit down with your brokerage for 60 minutes, diagnose where the hours actually go - chasing documents, the fact-find, affordability and compliance admin, progressing cases through lenders - and hand back a report built around how you place business: named tools, step-by-step recipes, and a prioritised plan to reclaim the time. Not a template.

Sound familiar?

The chasing and paperwork behind every mortgage placed.

You earn on cases completed. Then the week fills with the work in between: chasing payslips, bank statements and ID that the client keeps forgetting, running the fact-find and keying it into the system, building the affordability case and the compliance file, and progressing every application through the lender so it does not stall.

None of it is advice, but all of it has to happen - and it is the reason a case drags for weeks, the reason a hot lead goes cold while you finish another file, and the reason writing more business means more admin, not more advice. You know AI could take some of it. You just need someone to show you exactly where, and in what order, for a brokerage that runs the way yours does.

That is what the assessment is for. Not another CRM upsell, not a generic tool list - a 60-minute diagnostic of your brokerage and a plan built around what will genuinely give you the hours back.

What the admin costs

The document chasing and case admin behind every completion - and what it is worth fixing.

We don't put a single headline figure on mortgage admin here, because your mix decides it - a purchase-heavy brokerage chasing solicitors and estate agents loses time differently to a remortgage and protection desk on a review cycle. What we can say from assessing UK service businesses is that the biggest drains are consistent: document chasing, the fact-find, affordability and compliance admin, and case progression.

The assessment measures your actual week rather than a benchmark. In the 60-minute session we map where the hours really go across advisers and case handlers, then work backwards to the drains worth fixing first - so the number in your report is yours, not an average.

The assessment is £799 - and we work the numbers out from your actual week, not a sector average.

What the assessment does for your brokerage

Your six biggest time sinks - and what we do about each one.

We map your whole brokerage in the 60-minute session, then work backwards to the drains worth fixing first. Here is how that lands on the specific admin mortgage brokers feel.

Document chasing

Payslips, bank statements, ID, proof of deposit - the documents a case cannot move without, and the client who sends two of the four. We map how the chase runs in your brokerage and show where AI drafting and scheduled reminders take the follow-up off your desk, so cases stop stalling on missing paperwork.

Fact-find and data capture

The full picture - income, outgoings, credit, circumstances - captured once and keyed into the system, then re-keyed for the lender. We show which parts AI-assisted capture and a tighter integration handle for you, so the fact-find stops being typed twice.

Affordability and compliance admin

Building the affordability case, evidencing the recommendation, and assembling the compliance file the way your network or the regulator expects. We show where AI drafts the suitability write-up and organises the evidence - while the advice and the sign-off stay firmly with the adviser.

Case progression through lenders

Submitting the application, tracking it through underwriting, answering lender queries, and pushing for the offer - the relentless follow-up that stops a case dying in a queue. We map your progression flow and show where reminders and AI-drafted chasers keep every case moving.

Client updates and lead response

The new enquiry that needs a fast reply, the 'any news?' from an anxious buyer, the weekly update that keeps the client from calling the estate agent instead. We give you a workflow and a prompt library so keeping clients informed - and responding to leads before they cool - stops costing you the day.

Protection and remortgage follow-ups

The protection conversation that gets forgotten, the remortgage that lapses onto the lender's SVR because nobody diarised it. We show how a simple follow-up workflow runs itself, so the repeat and referral business you have already earned does not walk out the door.

What this is - and what it isn’t.

The assessment is a diagnostic and a plan. Within two working days of your call you get a passcode-protected report: the AI and automation opportunities we have found for your brokerage, named tools with costs and setup time, step-by-step recipes, a prompt library, an impact-versus-effort ranking, and ROI worked out on your real numbers. It is written in plain English so you can act on it - no technical background needed.

It is guidance, not us doing the work for you. If the report flags something worth building - a document-chasing agent, say - the Custom AI Agent Build is a separate product from £2,500, scoped case by case. If you would rather implement the report’s quick wins yourself with someone beside you, the Implementation Kickstart (£349, 90 minutes) is there for that. The assessment always comes first.

Common questions

Questions mortgage brokers ask us.

Is client financial data safe if we start using AI tools?
Yes, with the right setup. We only recommend business-account plans that keep client data private and do not train on your inputs, and the assessment flags the data-protection and FCA points to check before any rollout. You stay in control of what data ever goes near a tool.
Can AI help with suitability and compliance without creating risk?
It can draft the suitability write-up from your inputs and keep the compliance file organised - but it does not give advice and it does not replace the adviser's judgement or sign-off. We show you exactly where the line sits between a helpful draft and the recommendation a qualified adviser has to own.
We already use a CRM and a sourcing system. What is left to find?
Usually a lot. The biggest leaks - document chasing, case progression, the fact-find typed twice - are workflow problems, and most brokerages use their systems for a fraction of what they can do. The report looks across how you actually place business, not just which tools you pay for.
Is £799 worth it for a small brokerage?
It costs less than the proc fee on a single case, and it is guaranteed: if your report does not show at least 5 hours a week worth reclaiming, the £799 comes straight back. We work the numbers out from your actual week, not a benchmark.
