Paradigm's discussion paper advocating for mandatory advice for first-time buyers recently gained endorsement from several mortgage lenders, including April Mortgages and OSB Group, and backing from the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI). On July 28, 2026, AMI's chief executive, Stephanie Charman, stated that advice for first-time buyers was a "necessity," though some brokers warned that mandatory advice risks removing consumer choice, suggesting instead that brokers should enhance their advice propositions to naturally attract consumers. Previously, on June 10, 2026, discussions highlighted that mandatory advice for first-time buyers is a consumer protection issue, addressing concerns that individuals who initially pursue an execution-only mortgage might miss out on crucial advice. This followed news from June 5, 2026, when Paradigm's call for mandatory regulated advice for all first-time buyers was identified as one of the week's most-read mortgage broker stories.
