Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) has completed the integration of three specialist new-build businesses to create a single proposition under the Meridian Group.
Meridian Mortgages, William Lowden and Evolve Financial Solutions become one operating entity following an integration programme that began after MAB acquired the businesses fully in September 2025.
The three firms previously operated as part-owned MAB businesses, with the latest milestone completing the final phase of their integration.
MAB says the combined operation creates a significantly larger new-build business, bringing together local relationships, specialist expertise and technology-enabled mortgage advice.
STRONGER DATA AND TECHNOLOGY
The enlarged Meridian Group uses its combined dataset to improve the experience for housebuilders, developers and homebuyers.
MAB also expects the integration to strengthen its influence within the new-build market and provide a platform for sustainable growth in the specialist sector.
Existing advisers and employees remain within the integrated team, retaining the expertise and relationships developed by each of the three businesses.
ONE TEAM AND PROPOSITION
Felicity Barnett, Mortgage Advice Bureau
Felicity Barnett, new build and affordable housing partnerships manager at Mortgage Advice Bureau, says: “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.”
