A unique toolkit for UK mortgage brokers.
BrokerBricks is a unique toolkit that combines every specialist tool a UK mortgage broker could ever need into one sleek, user-friendly platform, with just one single log on needed. From the team behind award-winning mortgage brokerage Echo Finance and the renowned lead generator LeadCrowd.
- Trusted by advisers across the UK
- FCA-aligned
- Consumer Duty by default
Why we built it
Since the inception of BrokerBricks in 2012, our goal has always been to innovate and disrupt the industry. We believe that in 2026, nobody should be going to multiple sources for information that, in reality, can be sourced in one location.
We built these tools (or Bricks) for our own advisers. We wanted to save them time, money and the frustration of using multiple systems to do one job.
But we’re making it available to everyone. By giving you the foundations of this toolkit, we think we can build a better, faster, and more transparent industry for everyone.
Who we built BrokerBricks for
We constructed BrokerBricks from the ground up for mortgage advisers who want…
- An alternative to tools like Knowledgebank, Criteria Brain, 27tec and Cherry
- To avoid the faff of having to log in to multiple systems to access different tools
- To save minutes per case with advanced integrated tools
- Trusted criteria and affordability results sourced in real-time
- Efficient compliance and consumer-duty-related evidence on demand
- Clean, reliable CRM data
- A trustworthy platform based on existing systems that don’t require retraining
Core building blocks
On our launch date, our BrokerBricks platform will consist of the following Bricks:
- Lending Criteria Brick
- Mortgage Criteria Brick
- Protection Criteria Brick
- Calculators Brick
- CRM Brick
All Bricks can be used on one platform, under one single password.
Designed with you in mind
BrokerBricks was designed for brokers, by industry experts, and in collaboration with our own team of 70+ mortgage brokers and independent financial advisers.
We’ve looked at the common frustrations that the average broker experiences every day, and addressed them in unison. The result?
- Accurate, clear screens that are simple to navigate and easy to understand
- Intuitive next-step buttons, no functionality hidden in multiple menus
- Clean, structured data with no need for endless scrolling
- Tools that work alongside the integrated CRM, no copy and pasting required
- Auto-generated Consumer Duty evidence on every case
In development
Our intention is that BrokerBricks continues to develop into a complete, versatile toolkit, containing everything an adviser could possibly need, in one user-friendly platform.
We currently have a number of other tools in development, including:
- Affordability
- Sourcing
- Rates API
- HR
- CPD
- Recruitment
- Mortgage & Protection Club
As well as plans to provide a community forum, training opportunities and a feedback loop to ensure the toolkit is doing the job we intended.
Some tools (or Bricks, as we’re calling them) will require individual licensing. To make things easier for those who do choose additional Bricks for their toolkit, all tools are accessed through the same single point of entry - so you’ll only need one password, no matter how many Bricks you have.
