Our Role
AMI has a pro-active, campaigning mandate and is the voice of the mortgage intermediary profession. We are here to lobby the Government, policymakers, regulators, the media and consumer groups both in the UK and in Brussels, to better represent the needs of mortgage brokers across the country.
Objectives:
- To promote the needs of mortgage intermediaries amongst those who make decisions that directly impact upon their business.
- To collate the views and experiences of mortgage intermediaries and interpret them to formally challenge policy and the regulator.
- To promote the value of mortgage advice.
We work on a variety of working groups and cover many issues. Here is a selection of the projects we're involved in, expressing the opinions of our members to better direct policy.
