Self-Employed Mortgage Adviser

Location: Primarily remote, with occasional travel to our Newmarket office. There is also the option to work from the office more regularly if preferred.

Business Type: Introducer-led mortgage opportunity.

Build a Mortgage Business in One of the East of England's Most Active Property Markets.

Capricorn Financial Mortgages is growing its presence across Newmarket, Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire region. We are looking for ambitious, relationship-driven Mortgage Advisers who want the freedom and earning potential of a self-employed role, but with the support, structure and introducer access of an established mortgage business.

This is not a cold-start opportunity. You will be joining a platform designed to help you build momentum quickly, with local introducer relationships, operational support and the backing of a recognised mortgage brand.

The Opportunity

• Greater control over their income and client relationships
• Access to quality mortgage opportunities
• A stronger platform than working entirely on your own
• The ability to grow a long-term, repeat and referral-based client bank
• A flexible working model with local office support when needed

You will work with clients across residential, remortgage and buy-to-let lending, while developing relationships with estate agents, developers, local introducers and professional contacts across Cambridgeshire and the surrounding areas.

You will benefit from:

• Established introducer relationships across the region
• A Newmarket office base with remote working flexibility
• Support with administration, compliance and case management
• Access to systems, lenders and infrastructure via Sesame Limited
• A proven adviser platform and leadership team
• A strong brand with the ambition to grow further across Cambridgeshire

This is a role for someone who wants to be visible locally, build trusted relationships and make the most of the opportunities available in the area.

Why Cambridgeshire?

Cambridgeshire offers a strong opportunity for the right adviser. The region has a broad and active property market, from first-time buyers and home movers to landlords, investors, professionals and high-value clients around Cambridge and the surrounding towns. Cambridge in particular remains one of the most attractive and resilient property markets in the East of England, supported by a strong professional employment base, the university, science and technology sectors, and continued demand from buyers relocating into the area.

There is also a significant opportunity within the new-build market, with ongoing development across Cambridge, Newmarket and the wider Cambridgeshire region creating demand for advisers who understand developer-led timescales, reservation deadlines, affordability pressures, incentives, and the importance of moving quickly from enquiry to decision in principle and full application.

With continued population growth, strong local employment markets, new housing supply and a high level of property activity, there is a clear need for advisers who can provide trusted, personal and commercially aware mortgage advice to clients navigating both the resale and new-build markets.

This opportunity may be particularly attractive if you are:

• An existing Mortgage Adviser who wants better lead flow and support
• A self-employed adviser tired of funding all your own marketing
• An adviser receiving too few leads in your current firm
• An ambitious adviser who wants to build a proper business, not just process cases

We are especially interested in people who understand the value of local relationships and are comfortable getting out into the market, meeting introducers, nurturing contacts and building a reputation.

Earnings Potential

This is a self-employed, commission-only role with uncapped earning potential. For the right adviser, there is a realistic opportunity to build a strong and scalable income stream by combining introducer-led opportunities, repeat business, referrals and proactive local relationship building.

As a guide, advisers joining this type of model should be aiming to build towards:

• Year 1: £75,000+ earnings potential
• Year 2 onwards: £150,000+ earnings potential for strong performers

Actual earnings will depend on activity levels, conversion, protection attachment, client service, introducer relationship management and the ability to build a sustainable local pipeline. This is best suited to advisers who are commercially driven, comfortable taking ownership of their performance and motivated by a direct link between effort, results and income.

The ideal candidate will be:

• CeMAP qualified or equivalent
• Experienced in mortgage advice, protection advice or financial services sales
• Confident building relationships with clients and introducers
• Commercially minded and motivated by performance
• Comfortable working in a self-employed, commission-only environment
• Based within reach of Newmarket, Cambridge, Ely, Bury St Edmunds, Huntingdon, Peterborough or the wider Cambridgeshire/Suffolk area
• Professional, proactive and able to work independently while still engaging with the wider team

Important Information

• This is a self-employed, commission-only position
• You must have the right to work in the UK
• Occasional travel to the Newmarket office will be expected
• Advisers who prefer a more regular office presence are also welcome
• CeMAP or equivalent qualification is required for adviser candidates

If you are ambitious, relationship-driven and ready to build a serious mortgage business in the Cambridgeshire market, we would like to hear from you.
