Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) has successfully completed the integration of three specialist new build businesses.
Meridian Mortgages, William Lowden, and Evolve Financial Solutions were already part-owned businesses, before being fully acquired by MAB in September 2025, with an extensive integration programme having been undertaken ever since. This latest milestone represents the final phase of that process, and on Monday 3rd August, brings the businesses together into a single operating entity under the Meridian Group.
The integration represents MAB’s commitment to the new build market, offering one significantly sized business that combines localised, human-led relationships with technologically integrated advice. This will improve its influence across the new build market via a robust dataset that will enhance the user experience for both developers and customers, as well as providing MAB with a platform for sustainable growth within a specialised sector.
Existing advisers and colleagues remain central to the integrated team, and bringing them together with their combined experience strengthens MAB’s overall proposition for housebuilders, developers, and homebuyers, both now and into the future.
Felicity Barnett, New Build & Affordable Housing Partnerships Manager at Mortgage Advice Bureau, said:
"Bringing these market-leading firms together under one brand is an important milestone in strengthening our new build proposition. We've brought together the best of each business into one team, with one proposition and one way of working, while importantly retaining all of the talented people and expertise that our partners value. We know the industry continues to face challenges, which is why we're investing in a stronger, more unified business that is well placed to support the housebuilding sector as it continues to evolve.”
