Mortgage Advice Bureau issues profit warning | TheBusinessDesk.com
Firm blames Kwasi Kwarteng's disastrous mini-Budget for 50% drop-off in business
www.thebusinessdesk.comHere’s a quick update on Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) based on recent public coverage.
-
Latest development: Reports indicate MAB planned a move from AIM to the Main Market in late April 2026, signaling a transition to a larger, more liquid trading venue. This move is generally interpreted as a step to broaden investor access and potentially improve liquidity for shareholders.
-
Business momentum: News sources note that mortgage applications and activity in early 2026 remained stronger year-on-year, with quoted periods showing around a 19% increase in applications in the first part of 2026. This suggests continued demand in the UK mortgage market despite macroeconomic uncertainties.
-
Market context: Coverage around the time of the Main Market move also referenced broader refinancing activity and the company’s expectation to continue delivering profitable growth through 2026, albeit with caution given macro conditions in the Middle East and other regions.
-
Historical perspective: Past reporting highlighted periods of profit warnings and market volatility tied to broader housing-market shocks (e.g., mini-budget impacts), but more recent updates since 2024-2025 have shown recovery and improving activity levels.
